Yet Canada let her change nationality? Guess you had too many gold medals in winter sports to bother? :p

It’s a looong story as to how she went from Canada to USA.

After yesterday solid runs, Viki could not keep the pace in the 3rd heat. A top 15 would be a huge dream result, but yeah it is how it is. Looks, if no disaster in last heat it will still be a nice 17th place for the youngest starter.

The whole episode is complicated, contentious and it’s not clear we’ll ever know what really happened. But ultimately there was no way she would ever be willing to compere for Canada again.

Minor trolling by Polish ES commentator (he's usually a motor sport commentator): "Do you know what the letters SVK stand for?" "Slovakia!" :p

In case there was any doubt over who the best female bobsleigh pilot in the world is…

... this event didn't do anything to answer that question?

She might be a medal contender in 2026. At the 2020 youth olympics she won silver. Romania won gold, Germans placed 3rd and 4th, the best american placed 14th (more than 5 seconds behind the winner and only marginally ahead of the colombian bob*) and the best canadian placed 17th (out of 18 competitors and even behind the colombian bob).

 

* which is especially impressive when you know that there were only 2 runs

:ROU beats :GER in bobsleigh :yes

Germany has been late to the party. Not too surprising. I think they underestimate the stupidity of IOC to make this non-event part of the olympics. At most monobob competitions they can't even find 10 competitors (which isn't too surprising given that women's 2-man bob is already pretty uncompetitive).

      I thought the only continental quotas applied in track cycling was for the individual events - the team events were purely based on the rankings list

      keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.

      whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.

      Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
