Breezy Johnson :USA 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 :(

 

She had a crash in Zauchensee training too? Anyway, Either Siebenhofer or Weidle might walk away with the DH gold now if Goggia also won't make it.

Ledecká ? :p

 

Yes, but the one in Cortina was harder. I saw it on Czech TV, it was a very very bad crash.

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

 

:ROU declines the quota, so on to :NOR who already decline multiple reallocations. Next up would be :AND

Andorra will decline too. This one will end up in Korea most likely.

 

And if not Korea, then... Slovakia? All these nations will decline, except maybe RUS/CZE, but they too will start declining spots at some point unless they went all in for quantity over quality.

I think :CZE would rather accept male quota than female quota. We may have some rising stars amongst girls, but currently maybe competitive with developing countries. I'd rather see a quota for Ondřej Berndt or Filip Forejtek

:AND and :RUS rejected a reallocation. :KOR appears to have accepted a reallocation. However, unless there’s a glitch, it seems as though another quota is in the reallocation process now. :CZE has first dibs, if they pass, it goes to :ESP and :GBR who seem likely to pass, meaning it would then go to :SVK

It's not a glitch. Sweden initially accepted 7 quotas, then selected 5 athletes, and now they refused one of those 7 quotas. :wacko:

 

This is so utterly cruel to athletes hoping for a reallocation. I guess they already need negative tests, so Sweden playing cat and mouse with their quotas should be punished.

I highly doubt we will accept it if it happen. It is already too late. In normal Olympics yes, but certainly not under current circumstances

Same here. If it was male athlete, they would probably get quota for Ondrej Berndt. For female, I doubt it ....

Australia will likely accept is Slovakia declines.

 

And if not Australia... then Chile (rank #425)?

 

Further nations coming up down the reallocation list who might be interested: :LAT:POL:HUN:ARG:CHN. Interesting. I wonder if they will just start maxing out the host quota when it becomes too late for everyone else (due to restrictions). ;)

    • 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)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA
    • Swedish sprint results:   women: 1. Sundling 2. Dahlqvist 3. Hagström 4. Ribom 5. Svahn 6. Lundgren   men: 1. Anger 2. Grate 3. Danielsson 4. McKeever (CAN) 5. Skoglund 6. Grahn
    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues. 
    • Anyway...let's hope that this is the last time this year we see a brownfield competition!
