Interesting development in women's moguls as  Germany has rejected both their women's moguls quotas suddenly. The reallocations went to  Kazakhstan and  ROC.

There’s nothing in the news or on the website of the Dutch Ski Federation about this, so I think it’s a mistake on the website of the FIS. 

The  freestyle skier Isabelle Hanssen filed a lawsuit against the Dutch Ski Federation to enforce her right to go to Beijing to participate in the Olympic Games.

Tess Ledex  has just won her second gold medal in a row at the X-games: yesterday in Big Air, today in slopestyle. She also became the first woman to win gold medals in these disciplines at the same Games.
