Any of you think that any country will reject any spot on 500 and 1000m?

Some countries only have 1 skater who met the qualification time. So let's say :EST Marten Liiv or :GBR Cornelius Kersten gets injured/COVID or they decide to focus only on the 1.000m (unlikely), then there's no one from Estonia or GB who can replace him on the 500m. In that case, the quota will go to  :ESP Nil Llop.

 

On the 1.000m the same can happen with :BEL Mathias Vosté, :EST Marten Liiv, :GBR Cornelius Kersten or potentially someone from :KAZ.

So what does this rule mean or what is it for if it is simply that they can use 9 skaters?

They can send a maximum of nine skaters, however to be able to send nine skaters an NOC has to enter the maximum number of athletes in every event.

And no, there is no chance the Netherlands will refuse speed skating quota :p
