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

A nation like Italy with many male skiers that are good in only 1 discipline need at least 10 places, now we have 7 and it's a disaster, probably we will have only De Aliprandini starting in GS and only 3 starters in slalom and 3 in speed event.

I guess there is an outside chance after all for the fourth women's spot for us. The reallocation list is long, but many are no longer interested (NOR, GER, NZL, NED, GBR for sure).

According to this, Sweden declined 5 women, but kept both men (for the team event).

 

Austria's last hope is Morocco, but that probably ain't happening, either...

Or maybe Norway if they do not accept the reallocation?

True, but if I were Norwegian coach I would find someone to send, even for a three week vacation, just to screw Austria.

Germany will definitely accept another spot. Canada I think too, they only have 4 at the moment. But Norway 10 skiers, I’m not sure, too.

Kilde, Kristoffersen, Braathen, Foss-Solevaag, McGrath, Windigstad, Sejersted, Haugan, Solheim, Nestvold-Haugan

that are the only skiers I remember …

Says the Canadian, who have 55 quotas from snowboard and freestyle skiing.

Sweden is official! A disaster for Austria.
