Don't know why but the French girls decided to skip both Winterberg and Sigulda, or in fact any race at any competition during these weeks. So in the end they will only score 7 races, as opposed to 8 for the others. Qualification is manageable in both disciplines but with only one extra race it would have been a no-brainer ...

Best 7 results count so that's probably why.

There are 8 WC races so 8 results counted

Yeah, but they revised the qualification system. Max 7 results count.

And now she's not in Saint-Moritz 

Don't know why but that's obviously playing with fire ... only 6 results when other have 7. Only  Vannieuwenhuyse and  Kim can overtake her. They're both in Europa Cup, where there's pretty much no competition. The Belgian needs a top 6 to get ahead, consider it done, the Korean a victory With a 2nd place they would be even, with an even best performance, and an even last performance Anyway, supporting Germany for once

Is there a full schedule available yet somewhere? Both the official website and Wiki don't show the start times for each run, but show something like this:

 

 

I want to know which run starts when, like in the IBSF previews:

Our bad luck never ends. Two-man bobsleigh are after today guaranteed first reserve for the Olympics, just 4 points (minimum margin) off the qualification.

 

They join bobsleigh four-man and short track W 1500 m, who are also guaranteed first reserves by this point. Crnković in M biathlon is the current first reserve (likely to stay there), while we also have guaranteed second reserve for snowboarding W slopestyle/big air.

 

Tldr: We have more first/second reserves than actual participants. Yay us.

And sadly two of those entries would have qualified in 2018....but the IOC wanted to cut costs!!!
