So, Slovakia denied Sadulaev's visa? What's the official reason?

Wow, the final selection is already made now?   Interesting, keep up updates please! I assume Kim Gilli will be on her way, normally?

The national team trials to determine South Korea’s short track representatives for the Milan Olympics are currently underway. This week features three races (500m / 1000m / 1500m), followed by another three races next week (500m / 1000m / 1500m). The combined points from all six races will decide who earns a spot on the Olympic team, and a major shake-up in the men’s lineup is expected. In the first week, Rim Jong Un—winner of three gold medals at the 2025 World Junior Championships—claimed victory in the 1500m, while Shin Dongmin—also a triple gold medalist from the 2024 Junior Worlds—won the 500m. Hwang Daehon, the 2022 Olympic gold medalist in the 1500m, finished second in both races and is on track to make his return to the national team. At this rate, it seems unlikely that we’ll see familiar names like Park Jiwon or Kim Gunwoo at the Olympics.

Nothing too realistic. To be fair, rumours of Verstappen going to team X or Y (mostly Mercedes and Aston Martin) have been going on for years, I'm still expecting him to sit out his entire contract with Red Bull  

But that's only a thing in the longer events, since one would generally go all-out in everything under 800 meters anyway.   For short/long hurdles, they should simply do the 100/110/400 meter hurdles twice, if they so badly want to have it as a double thing. Having all the hurdle specialists do flat races is fun for a bit, not gonna lie, but it makes the whole thing feel mostly like an exhibition event.   Besides, start this in a small stadium in the US instead of something big like this. Now it had the feel of a random training field somewhere in godknowswhere. Why does it need to be so massively American immediately, start a bit more...humble, and try and grow from there.

Oh, right, there is Hirscher  But I think that's unlikely as well, given his injury that kept him out of almost the entire season and his results before that which were nowhere near what he would need to qualify....I highly doubt it. It'd be cool, but I doubt it.

Made a minor update already. FIS updated the qualification standings for the snowboard slopestyle/big air despite the fact that I already gathered the data after the last event. My guess is that they forgot to adjust the standings so that only the top 6 slopestyle and top 4 big air results for each athlete count. This has resulted in the following changes in snowboard:    +1  +1  -1   There is only one subtraction because on the men's side, Jonas Hasler is the athlete who now misses qualification but he is already qualified in the halfpipe so an extra quota is gained overall.

Is Marcel Hirscher still planning on competing?

Oh come on, just the one slice, cake looks tasty and he can purge later.
