Given my own experience with the US immigration system I always thought it seemed unlikely Humphries would get US citizenship in time for the 2022 Olympics. It appears she won't get citizenship until 2023, and thus probably won't be eligible to compete in the 2022 Olympics.

Where is the qualification thread?

 

Anyways, according to the provisional standings, :VIE Vietnam is currently qualified for women's monobob, while :CAM Cambodia is only 8 pts outside of the qualification zone. Crazy. :d

And imagine if the IOC allowed the monobob to have 25 entries like it did with the other two individual events from the IBSF, both would be qualified, and have room to spare...

@heywoodu What are the chances the Netherlands declines the 4-man quota its likely to receive?

Based on the qualification document, the Netherlands either needs to finish in the top 12 in the ranking list or have a top 8 World Cup result. They only have two more races remaining and their best result is 11th. Seems unlikely, but possible...

Yeah, we will probably need the Netherlands to withdraw. :whistle:


Meanwhile, talk about dumb qualification system, GB is currently gifted a second spot in the 4-man, even though their second crew is ranked below some unqualified nations...

    • and of course we can still go for some more shopping in the AHL and the main European Leagues (where a few good players with Italian heritage play)...
    • looking at Today's NHL Rosters, this is a list of player that surely would be eligible to play for  (even if many of them have already played at the World Champs/Olympics for  /  in the past, sometime recent past)   Forwards   Adam Fantilli (Columbus) Kyle Palmieri (NY Islanders) Noel Acciari (Pittsburgh) Philip Tomasino (Pittsburgh) Andrew Mangiapane (Washington) Sonny Milano (Washington) Joe Veleno (Detroit) Michael Pezzetta (Montreal) Michael Amadio (Ottawa) Anthony Cirelli (Tampa Bay) Max Domi (Toronto) Max Pacioretty (Toronto) Tyler Bertuzzi (Chicago) Ryan Donato (Chicago) Nick Foligno (Chicago) Matt Boldy (Minnesota) Marcus Foligno (Minnesota) Luke Evangelista (Nashville) Michael Carcone (Utah) Matias Maccelli (Utah) Alex Iafallo (Winnipeg) Cole Perfetti (Winnipeg) Gabriel Vilardi (Winnipeg) Robby Fabbri (Anaheim) Frank Vatrano (Anaheim) Troy Terry (Anaheim) ??? Matt Coronato (Calgary) Anthony Mantha (Calgary) Macklin Celebrini (San Josè) Ty Dellandrea (San Josè) Tyler Toffoli (San Josè)   D-Men   Dante Fabbro (Columbus) Brett Pesce (New Jersey) Victor Mancini (NY Rangers) Brandon Carlo (Boston) Ben Chiarot (Detroit) Steven Santini (Tampa Bay) Mathew Dumba (Dallas) Nick Leddy (St.Louis) Robert Bortuzzo (Utah) Sean Durzi (Utah) Alec Regula (Edmonton) Cody Ceci (San Josè) Mario Ferraro (San Josè) Alex Pietrangelo (Las Vegas)   Goalies   Drew Commesso (Chicago) Joel Hofer (St.Louis) ???   but I'm pretty sure that there are a few more with Italian heritage coming from their moms and/or wives (Canadiens' Josh Anderson, for instance)...
    • Day 6 Results - 12.12.2024   Play-Offs Quarterfinals   -   5-2 -   9-1    9-12th Place Semifinals   -   3-6 -   2-10   13th Place Match   -   6-4   15th Place Match   -   6-9
    • Your telling me there isn't a single track in Europe that could cover.
    • Surely they'll find a few boys with more famous names whose grandma had one of her parents somewhere in Italy
    • Michael Del Zotto? Though it looks like he's in the AHL now...
    • it's about 2 main factors: first, the pool's size and shape (depth, width and also the gradient of the pool's sides -if the walls are perfectly vertical or not), which has an influence on the water mass movement following the swimmers' action (the more the walls can absorb the waves made by the swimmers, the faster they can go; meanwhile, the bigger the waves are, the more they slow the swimmers down); second, water hardness might also be a factor (less than the pool's technical features, but still) as in different Countries there might be different habits (if not laws) about the sanification of the water itself (for instance, here in Italy we use to put a lot of chlore in pools' water, more than in many other places)   environmental and water's temperature can also have an impact, but in the indoor events I think there's no big difference between places (and the water's temperature is standardized by FINA for sure)   altitude might also be a factor (as it is for all the aerobic efforts), but normally there are no swimming big events in high places, so it's more a chance than a real thing since the 1968 Olympics and the 1975 Worlds (which were held in  Cali)
