Have Austria announced the team? 

Entry deadline is next week so I doubt they will decide anything before Streif.

Austria also understood today that they have only 9 quota places in the men's competition. Are of course totally pissed off and see it as the task of the FIS to create them another 2 quota places. Likewise one assumes that the ranking list is still changed after Kitzbühel.
It could also not be that nations like Italy and France have only 9 places, but more podium riders. Where do France and Italy have more than 9 podium riders? Austria doesn't either this season. France has currently even nominated only 5 athletes for Beijing, because they do not really have more.

Blaise Giezendanner 3rd in Kitz today, Strolz won Adelboden slalom, its alpine skiing, there are many skiers that in a given day could make the podium, and some of these will watch the Olympics from the sofa.Italy for example has only 7 places because we have many skiers good in only 1 discipline (Vinatzer and De Aliprandini for example dont have the ranking to give Italy 1 quota) and we will leave home skiers that have top 15 and also top 10 finish this year, for sure the skiers that on paper are medal contenders like Paris, Vinatzer, De Aliprandini  and the outsiders like Razzoli and Innerhofer will go, but other skiers that, on paper, are better than Strolz or Giezendanner will remain at home  and its very likely that Italy wont have 4 starters in at least 2 races if not more probably  3 races

Top 20 in a World Cup standing:

Italy

Paris (DH, SG)

Innerhofer (DH)

Casse (SG)

De Aliprandini (GS)

Razzoli (SL)

Vinatzer (SL)

 

Total: 6 Athletes, Quotas: 7 = Where is the problem?

 

France

Clarey (DH)

Pinturault (SG, GS, SL)

Bailet (SG)

Faivre (GS)

Noel (SL)

 

Total: 5 Athletes, Quotas: 9 = Where is the problem? 
 

The Olympic Games are also for the small nations. That’s it what the Olympics are standing for. And in the big nations, a top 20 place in the World Cup ranking should be the requirement for participation in the Olympics (France was also nominated according to this criterion). Athletes who are not in the top 20 would also be very big surprise medal winners then.

Obviously the IOC forcing the FIS to cut the Alpine skiing quota from 320 to 306 was really painful.

Yeah things are tight. 106 quotas went to nations which only used the basic quota while the other 40 basic quotas went to nations who qualified athletes through other criteria which means a few are getting a free ride despite being from a large nation. This only leaves 160 athletes who qualified by merit which averages around 16 athletes per individual event. While athletes do compete in more than one event, that's pretty tight.

 

If I controlled things I would boost it up to 24 unique athletes per event plus 100 for small nations for a total of 340 quotas.

WCSL quotas are an easy fix. Extra places should be awarded based on Top 30 ranking only if the same nation has someone else with WCSL points. New Zealand would only get one female spot instead of three, and so on.

    • Czech Euroeport commentator: wow I see there only 9 pairs starting, Korea probably thought they have no chances and decided to not send a pair here, what a dumb move   omfg...

    • Don't know if other nations' media have picked this up, but here in  the aerodynamics of ski jumping are a question.of fascination.  Or one particular aspect of it.   The World Anti-Doping Agency could investigate if evidence emerges that male ski jumpers are injecting their penises in a bid to improve sporting performance.   In January, German newspaper Bild, external reported that jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid before being measured for their suits     https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/czej70jyg4eo
