heywoodu 13,540 Posted December 8, 2021 #51 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Nearly all of the top Dutch skaters have gone home to prepare for the OQT around Christmas, so they'll skip Calgary. This is done under the assumption the maximum number of quota are already certain, with the men's mass start (although Jorrit Bergsma went home as well) and the women's 3k as exceptions. Ted 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Very risky, I have a feeling we’ll lose some quotas because of this decision. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose *any* quota it reduces the max number of skaters from the already low maximum of 9 to 8 (it was 10 in Pyeongchang). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass start has 6 or 8 teams qualifying? Any chance for Japanese Men to qualify after their fall in SLC? Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan have a very good chance to be the 2 fastest time if they surpass KOR's performance in USA. opruh, Fly_like_a_don and Ted 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't qualify by points. Ted and Fly_like_a_don 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
