Fair points.  The Nigerian bobsled is going to end up being close and were competitive, I was really cheering for them to make it. I guess I find the recent story about Frimpong hard to swallow though.  His heartbreak over the covid test is weird, why does he believe that he was going substantially better than his earlier results this season.  It is not like he did not have opportunities, and he was not close.

I think losing out on a chance to qualify in this manner after years and years of work is a tough pill to swallow. Pyeongchang was kind of an unimagined opportunity for him, as where he had always intended to target Beijing.

According to Ken Childs, the IBSF had allocated the last quota to Katie Tannenbaum , which would bring us back up to 91 nations in Beijing.

Unless I screwed up the calculations (which is highly possible), I don't believe there were any quota changes from the past week or so.   Men:   3 quotas:    Germany

He is basically trying to profit from COVID. How very commendable.

 

The best 7 results count for qualification, and COVID or no COVID, he already has 13 (!!) results this year.

 

Oh, and he also has the result from the test event where he placed 29th (last).

 

Goes in line with his prior self-promoting ways.

IBSF released the final women's skeleton IBSF ranking. It includes 8 stages while Olympic standing should consist maximum of 7 stages as its document writes clearly. So I wonder if it will update the Olympic standing or it will just use IBSF ranking and then get complained.

IBSF rankings is not the same as the Olympic qualification ranking, though.

I think it is doubtful that they will update Olympic standings, however last time they published a detailed pdf pretty quickly.   There was very little change from today's race anyway.

Looks like the IBSF removed the top 60 or top 45 rules for Skeleton. This means :ISV is second in the women's reallocation list (likely first, because I doubt :SWE would accept a reallocate spot)

      Suspect strongly that the Sultan of  is behind Global Wushu!     Another one is long distance & ultra triathlon.  There are literally millions being paid out in prize money to attract big name athletes from several sports, huge FTA TV coverage but seemingly no prospect of any profit.   And the classic is obstacle racing, which has effectively bought up the ownership of Modern Pentathlon.

      apparently the Japanese organizers rejected OCA's nice request    now OCA is ordering them to do so in a not-so-nice language https://oca.asia/media/attachments/memberships_subcommittee/5/Decision_-_103rd_OCA_EB_Meeting_5ypY8y4.pdf   the last line is very interesting   I knew this for a while, for example that's why Jujjtsu is included in all of OCA events (despite being the worst sport to watch) but good to see OCA admit this. so with the corrupt OCA you can buy your way in. how much they paid the OCA officials for this ?   OK I know Qatar is financially supporting Padel (and UAE is paying everything for Jujitsu) but who is behind Teqball?  ! I don't think Thailand can do that.

      Important information on team Aerials.   There is no AIN`s team at the start list of the world cup despite of the fact that belorussians have enough athletes to have a team.   https://medias4.fis-ski.com/pdf/2026/FS/8119/2026FS8119SLF1.pdf

      Biathlon Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      By avlar · Posted

      By the way. It looks like no AIN`s will be in biathlon by the start of the Olympics. Russians filed an appeal to CAS to get AIN statuses in biathlon. But IBU did not agree to have hearings with short procedure. So the decisons are not expected before the end of qulifying period. (FIS could do the same but its top-officials prefer to help russians be back as quick as possible).   I would like to see Dolidovich at the Games. Because she is a real refugee of the relatively high level.
