Did someone turn down a quota to get a 3rd USA spot in the women's 500m?  That obviously would have changed the landscape of the trials when Erin Jackson finished 3rd and Brittany Bowe give up her spot for Jackson to be 1 of the 2 skaters

Some reallocations took place.

 

It also seems as if the provisional quota file was incorrect/incomplete as the number of quota per distances was mostly lower than the actual event quota according to the original qualification document. For example, the provisional quota list had 27 entry quota's on the women's 500m, even though the qualification document stated that the maximum number of skaters on the women's 500m would be 30. As a result, a lot of reserves have been added.

As a result:

 

  • :ARG, :LAT & :ROU are now definitely in.
  • :BEL Sandrine Tas had one quota (mass start) and how has four (500m, 1.000m, 1.500m and mass start)
  • :SUI could have had 3 quotas on the women's side, but only decided to keep the 1 quota they already had on the mass start.
  • :GER could have 3 quota on the men's 1.000m, but now only have 1. 
  • :TPE refusing the quota on the men's 1.000m means they will have no male skaters in Beijing.

 

In total there are 27 countries with at least one confirmed quota (2018: 29 countries).

Are we sure :TPE refused a quota? https://focustaiwan.tw/sports/202201190016

 

"

Two more athletes are currently on a reserve waiting list and will know if they qualify for the Winter Olympics by Saturday, the Sports Administration said."


Surely these are the speed skaters

:TPE had priority over :NOR on the men’s 1.000m.

 

Could it be that the maximum number of quota was reached and that :TPE was the first one missing out, whereas :NOR can enter an athlete that already had a quota on another distance?

I think it's the reason. You can only get a reallocation quota if not add an extra person.

And I'm sure Brittany Bowe knew that when she gave her spot after the trials to Erin Jackson knowing there would be a good chance the US would get a 3rd skater entered.

 

Looking forward to that final.  It'll be the morning of the Super Bowl here and a very reasonable 9am ET.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
