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. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

dcro 9,837 Posted January 13, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 13, 2022 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. intoronto and evil betty 2 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Liu 1,391 Posted January 14, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 14, 2022 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. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBSF rankings is not the same as the Olympic qualification ranking, though. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

intoronto 2,543 Posted January 14, 2022 #18 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Looks like the IBSF removed the top 60 or top 45 rules for Skeleton. This means is second in the women's reallocation list (likely first, because I doubt would accept a reallocate spot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topicmaster1010 637 Posted January 14, 2022 #19 Share Posted January 14, 2022 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 ROC 2 quotas: Austria China Great Britain Italy Latvia South Korea 1 quota: American Samoa Australia Canada Spain Switzerland Ukraine United States Women: 3 quotas: Germany ROC 2 quotas: Canada China Great Britain United States 1 quota: Australia Austria Belgium Brazil Czechia France Italy Latvia Netherlands Puerto Rico South Korea hckošice, Vic Liu and Wumo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
