Novak is certainly eligible, just not qualified.  The FIS have him listed https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/v2/quota/allocation/owg/fs/2022?gender=M&event=AE&page=1 here, and he is in 39th place.  With max quotas removed he is still the 8th reserve.  

Yeah, thanks. I already read everything. When he said he has qualified I stopped checking but then I realized in allocation list he is pretty low under the line .... Well, hopefully in Cortina 🙂

Grass is green, water is wet, women's ski cross will have to bend over backwards to find Olympians (and fail)...

[Olympian1010 7,980]

 declined 1 men’s aerials quota.  next in line, but they may reject. If so,  gets another men’s quota.

[Olympian1010 7,980]

 declined 1 women’s halfpipe quota, which should go to . After that, we’re down to a reduced entry list.

[dcro 10,210]

After Italy, Russia declines quotas too? The end is near.

[dcro 10,210]

Chile declines women's ski cross too...?

 

That's it. Ski cross has to go down to 24 per gender, with 1/8 finals having 3 athletes per heat (that would increase safety too).

Just goes on to show how much IOC have done in winter sports. Now I seriously believe IOC should set aside tripartite quotas and have some unused quotas added to tripartite. I would love to see a cross country sprint event being held like 100m, preliminary heats followed by regular time trial ( with certain proportion of skieers qualifying for second stage) 

 

Initially tripartite may sound like joke to most but if a tripartite can win a medal in Tokyo Olympics then why not expect something similar may not be now or next games over a few decades.

Winter sports do need a more diverse set of tripartite quotas. Not all nations perform alpine/cross-country skiing.
