Alpine Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

Waiting for Norway and Sweden plus few smaller federations, and it still could be that Austria doesn’t get any male reallocation and remains with only 9 quotas 😳

Any clue why  turned down Simander’s quota?

Bizarre. Now down to 90 countries and likely for the first time in a while (or ever) we will see less countries at a WOG vs the previous edition

 

She just competed this past weekend as well...odd choice.

Malta declined, but they keep the snowboarder.

Didn't the Kenyan NOC forget about the quota process in 2018, despite telling Simader she was competing? Maybe this time they forgot about her entirely.

 declined four women's quotas.  should have 11 women after reallocations!!!

It looks like maximum 10 are possible but could be even worst …

What a disaster for Austria. I would fire all the coaches etc. I mean they could have easily improved the placement of few athletes, but probably just thought it is not needed.

Does a country really need 11 athletes? Maybe 9 should be enough... 4 for technical and 4 for speed, along with a floater

Since it happened to Austria, I am actually hopeful something will be done in this regards for next time. For starters, 32 spots can get transferred from ski cross to alpine skiing. Easy.
