So Ghana and Jamaica are likely out then ?

Honestly wouldn't mind Jamaican skier getting kicked out after all his bragging.

But will not happen. You can cheat and get away with it. Vanessa Mae set the precedent.

Funny how gender equality gets thrown in the garbage as soon as some big nation gets angry.

Yeah, everyone knows this gender equality stuff is political bullshit. If Austria wants the full quota they sure got it.

Goggia has a new post on Instagram.

 

It doesn't look good.

Belgium suddenly refused a women's quota which got offered to Japan (TBC).

 

Few more withdrawals (for example from Germany and Sweden), and the reallocation system will just snap here. Some British skiers ranked #370 are already appearing on the wait list...

Olympics without Goggia???!!!

I'm so disappointed.

 

From her instagram today:

 

"Se questo è il piano che Dio ha riservato per me, altro non posso fare che spalancare le braccia, accoglierlo e accettarlo.
E andare avanti."

 

"If this is the plan that God has reserved for me, I can only open my arms, welcome it and accept it. And go on."

Japan declined. Unique chance for Romania to enter two weekend-skiers now, since Caill appears to be absent for some reason.

naaa...she was only referring to those who asked her why she wasn't skiing in a "conservative" way (like Gut and Shiffrin) in the last races...

 

she did reply that she can only ski in "her" way, always on the edge, at 100% and that she trusts God and accepts what she calls "his plans for me", whatever it happens...

 

she has already started all the treatments, trying to get ready in time for the Olympic downhill training runs...she doesn't give up so easily...

Breezy Johnson as expected out of the Olympics due injury, crash in Cortina in the last DH training was at the end too costly for the biggest US speed events chance in Beijing

Well Caill is not on the list for this Olympics because she has some “fights” with our President of the Ski federation Puiu Gaspar(the same president who says Edith Miklos is not good enough for Romania and she did not have any potential)
