Exactly. Belgium for example has 6 quotas on the mens side but only 2 skaters to fill in those 6 spots (Swings/Vosté). Czech Republic has 7 quotas on the womens side, but only 2 skaters who will normally fill in those quotas (Sablikova/Zdrahalova)
 

So on the womens side I foresee no issues, probably around 77-78 different skaters will fill in those quota. On the mens side, I think the total number will be around 87-90. That’s why I was wondering if they would use the unused quota from the women, but there is no rule about that. 

They did it in short track... so I think it will happen here.

Basis on ISU qualification rules for Beiging in speedsaktind that says:

"

  1. The highest number of event quota places is 3 (in Men’s 500m) plus 5 other events having at least 1 athlete (1000m, 1500m, 5000m, 10000m and Mass Start). This brings the total to 8. Thus for quota allocation purposes:

    • If the NOC also qualifies in the Men’s team pursuit, the NOC can be allocated up to 8 Men quota places.

    • If the NOC does not qualify in the Men’s team pursuit, the NOC can be allocated up to 7 Men quota places"

 

Do you think that maximum Nederlands men quota is 9 quotas or 9 skater for all the quotas earned??

The Netherlands can send 9 different men and 9 different women to the Olympics in speed skating.

And the main thing in Dutch speed skating is back, the quadrennial 'Matrix' :cheer: This decides who goes to the Olympics and is filled with results during the OQT. For example, if you're 3rd in the men's 1500m, you need to hope someone has doubled up in the first nine spots (which is of course likely). Second place in the 5000m and 10.000m are both definitely not sure, which is a bit of a unique situation in Dutch male speed skating. As for the women: it's an Irene Schouten matrix all the way in the top-3 :d

17 event quotas (3x 500m/1000m/1500m/5000m, 2x 10000m/Mass Start + team pursuit), but only 9 skater quotas, so a maximum of 9 different Dutch male skaters can go to Beijing to compete.

 

Today the national ice skating association (KNSB) has published how they will determine which 9 skaters will go. Once again, the Dutch association asked scientists from the University of Groningen to come up with these matrices. The matrix shows the selection order for the skater quotas, based on the distances on which the mathematicians believe the Dutch have the highest chance of earning a gold medal in Beijing.

 

The top 6 highest ranked skaters in the final matrix will always go. It is very likely that the 7th and 8th highest ranked skater will also go and that the national association will select the number 9th based on who they think is the best fit for either the team pursuit or the mass start and who is not already part of the top 8 skaters.

 

Selection order Men Women
1 #1 1.000m #1 5.000m
2 #1 5.000m #1 Mass Start
3 #1 1.500m #1 3.000m
4 #2 1.000m #2 3.000m
5 #1 10.000m #1 500m
6 #1 Mass Start #1 1.000m
7 #2 1.500m #1 1.500m
8 #1 500m #2 5.000m
9 #3 1.000m #2 1.500m
10 #3 1.500m #2 1.000m
11 #2 5.000m #3 3.000m
12 #2 10.000m #3 1.500m
13 #2 500m #3 1.000m
14 #3 5.000m #2 500m
15 #3 500m #3 500m

For example, if we fill in the matrixes based the results of the national championships that were held in the last week of October, then they would select the following skaters:

 

Selection order Men Women
1 Kai Verbij Irene Schouten
2 Jorrit Bergsma Irene Schouten
3 Thomas Krol Irene Schouten
4 Hein Otterspeer Antoinette de Jong
5 Jorrit Bergsma Jutta Leerdam
6 Bart Hoolwerf Jutta Leerdam
7 Kjeld Nuis Antoinette de Jong
8 Kai Verbij Sanne in 't Hof
9 Thomas Krol Ireen Wüst
10 Chris Huizinga Femke Kok
11 Patrick Roest Carlijn Achtereekte
12 Patrick Roest Jutta Leerdam
13 Dai Dai N'tab Ireen Wüst
14 Marwin Talsma Femke Kok
15 Hein Otterspeer Michelle de Jong
  • Green = 100% sure based on results during trials,
  • Yellow = very likely based on trials, but could potentially be replaced by another skater to improve the team pursuit/mass start team,
  • Red = will probably be replaced,
  • Black = not qualified based on trials, but can be manually selected by the national association.
  • Grey = also fills in a higher spot in the matrix, so this result doesn't count

    • Choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant is a critical step for students looking to pursue education overseas. With so many options available, it can be challenging to determine which consultant is best suited for your academic goals. To make the most out of your study abroad journey, it is essential to find a reliable consultant who understands your educational needs and helps you navigate the complexities of applying to international universities. Here are some essential factors to consider when choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant for your academic goals. 1. Evaluate Their Expertise and Experience When selecting a Study Abroad Consultant, it is crucial to assess their experience and expertise in the field. A well-established consultant with years of experience will have in-depth knowledge of the study abroad process, including admission requirements, visa processes, and scholarship opportunities. You should look for consultants who specialize in your preferred countries and courses. This ensures they are up-to-date with the latest changes in university admissions and can provide the best guidance. For example, The Student Helpline, a reputable education consultancy, offers personalized guidance for students seeking education in various countries. Their team of experienced counselors helps students with course selection, university shortlisting, and the entire application process. 2. Check Their Track Record of Success Another important factor to consider is the consultant’s track record. Ask about their success rate with student placements in prestigious universities. Testimonials and reviews from previous clients can give you insight into the consultant's ability to deliver results. A high success rate in placing students in top-tier institutions suggests that the consultant has a good understanding of the admission processes and can guide students effectively. The Student Helpline has built a strong reputation for helping students secure admissions to top universities across the globe. Their comprehensive support has helped many students achieve their academic goals, making them a trusted partner in the study abroad journey. 3. Assess Their Range of Services A comprehensive Study Abroad Consultant should offer a wide range of services that go beyond just university applications. From visa counseling to pre-departure briefings, they should provide support at every stage of the process. Ensure that the consultant you choose offers services that align with your needs. Some consultants may also assist with accommodation arrangements, travel plans, and scholarship applications. The Student Helpline stands out in this regard by offering end-to-end services, including visa support, financial aid guidance, and even post-arrival services. Their holistic approach ensures that students feel supported throughout their entire study abroad experience. 4. Personalized Guidance for Academic Goals Every student has unique academic goals, so it's essential to find a Study Abroad Consultant that offers personalized guidance. A good consultant will take the time to understand your academic background, future aspirations, and career goals before recommending the right course and university for you. They should also be able to suggest alternative options if your initial choices don’t work out. At The Student Helpline, students receive tailored guidance based on their individual preferences and qualifications. The consultancy team takes the time to understand each student’s academic strengths and career objectives before crafting a personalized study plan. 5. Transparency and Ethical Practices Transparency is a critical factor when choosing a Study Abroad Consultant. You should ensure that the consultant is clear about their fees, services, and processes from the start. Some consultants may charge hidden fees or promise unrealistic outcomes to lure students in, so it’s essential to choose a consultant that operates with integrity. Reputed consultants like The Student Helpline follow transparent practices, offering students a clear breakdown of costs and services. Their ethical approach ensures that students receive honest guidance, avoiding false promises and unnecessary expenses. 6. Availability and Communication Effective communication is key when working with a Study Abroad Consultant. Ensure that your consultant is readily available to answer your questions and provide updates throughout the application process. Delayed responses or lack of communication can cause unnecessary stress during an already overwhelming time. The Student Helpline is known for maintaining open channels of communication, offering prompt responses and updates at every step. Their consultants are available to provide students with the clarity they need to make informed decisions about their study abroad plans. Conclusion Choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant is a significant decision that can influence the success of your international education journey. By evaluating their experience, track record, range of services, and ethical practices, you can make an informed choice that aligns with your academic goals. Reputed consultants like The Student Helpline can help you navigate the complex process of studying abroad and ensure that your dreams of an international education become a reality. By choosing wisely, you can maximize your chances of success and embark on a fulfilling academic journey overseas.    
    • To pass that pin, they could have done a hug. I think the whole scene seems made to arrive to the kiss (why is Gil-galad there but is not involved in treating? He should be the one to decide after all), so to cater to the romantic part of the audience (again, soap opera style) and to get negative reactions from who knows that it'd be sacrilege in this world.  As for the orcs, same as everything else - they want to add something revolutionary in that world but then immediately inconsistent. One scene orcs want to be loved, the next one savagely licking blood from knives (copied from LotR of course), then back to wanting love. It's like they didn't read the script they wrote.
    • Which is why I'm not reading the books, ever (because obviously he is never going to finish that). No problem with the shows though.
    • I honestly wonder how that can be done. Generally speaking, rider behaviour is most likely the first thing one would have to look at. So many bad falls due to riders just not paying attention, taking insane and often even unncessary risks or (hello Jay Vine) coming from the world of things like Zwift and therefore not having basic bike control skills.   There's of course also other things, like mass sprints on those super wide and straight roads.
    • They see dying to help Gaza like a honor of warriors they did what  they can  ...Hezbollah are paying their empathy by avoid  civilians ...enormous mistake                 
    • The terrorist Dick schoof is sending weapons to the terrorist Satanyahu    his name is Dick 
    • nothing related to the leader , their goal is to kill people and steal the land 
    • @Sindo Not to be annoying  But a page being full after 3 (!) posts surely isn't by design, but something not going entirely right in the forum software?     It was already honestly too little to have a new page every 10 posts, but every 3 is a bit much  
    • They infiltrate governements and use black magic  money and media to manipulate them , well done Satan 
    • Rumours are saying terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah may have been killed. Wouldn't be surprising, since yesterday's large attacks they have not made a single coherent statement, it's like all leadership is gone.
