Men's 1.500m quota for now. The top 20 of the Olympic qualification ranking is fixed. 10 more skaters will be added after the B-Group has finished.

 

Qualified based on ranking:

 

 x2  x2  x1  x3  x1  x1  x3  x3  x2  x2

didn't qualify by points (Morozov got DQed), got the final points place.

 

Qualified by time:

What does the reserve list for the mass start look like if we remove ineligible athletes?

Ineligible athletes are already removed.

I meant which six athletes are in line to be entered into the mass start through D.2.6 as of now.

Dawson  and Bowe  just missing out on qualification will make the trials interesting.

Only Michael and Silovs.

 

The way the document is written implies you have to be on the reserve list to benefit of D.2.6, they don't provide any alternative method to rank who gets an additional place. The reserve list is limited to eight places, and there is no way to re-allocate a place on the reserve list.

Huh, that is an odd rule. Wei-Lin  still has an outside side chance to sneak into the 1000m.

The defending bronze medalists in the women's team pursuit fails to qualify for the 2022 Games, the first time ever they will not partake in the event.

Not taking the quotas into account for the distances that will be skated tonight, we have a total of 25 countries already secured of at least one quota:

 

                         

 

In 2018, 29 different countries competed. Differences so far:

 

• No participation in 2018, but quota secured for 2022:   
• Participated in 2018, no quota secured for 2022 (yet):        

 

 will send its first ever skater to the Olympics (women's 500m) and no skater from  had qualified since 1992 and now they qualified both a male and female speed skater. 

 

 Marten Liiv will almost certainly qualify tonight for both men's 500 and 1.000m, so Estonia will be the 26th country added to the list.

 

 Loubineaud is now 2nd reserve on the men's 5.000m, 3rd on the men's 10.000m and 4th on the men's mass start. 

 

No reasonable hope for any of the other countries to qualify. I'm most disappointed by . They also don't have any talents coming up in the junior circuit.

I do not understand it any more. Maybe you guys can help me.

 

Can all Russian speedskaters participate in the Beijing Games? Even those who have ever been caught using doping? I heard Olga Fatkulina (a doper from the 2014 Games) saying she is qualified for Russia on the 500 and 1000 meter.
