So two are competing in pool and open water? I wonder if Uana counts them in open water which opens up an additional two spots.  

 

Actually in the end the male open water swimmers selected won't compete in the pool. So we have 34 in the pool events (18 men + 16 women) and 4 in Open Water (2 each gender), but Viviane Jungblut will also compete in the pool so that equals 37 athletes (the list is in this post).

 

Brazil could have opted to send 2 more female athletes but the level isn't great.

Other changes:

road/track :ARU. :MEX  +2 

MTB :HON +2 

MTB :CHI +1, :CUB +1 

MTB :USA -2

MTB,BMX Freestyle and BMX racing :PER -1 each

BMX Freestyle :COL +1 

BMX Racing :VEN +1 

 

:CAN declined four spots in men's road/track cycling :facepalm:What a complete stupid organization is Cycling Canada. Completely stupid and run by idiots, I hope they read this. From using a lame excuse to not enter mountain biking to declining quotas!

@vinipereira

I don’t quite understand why the US rejected their MTB quotas either. I happy with the countries who received the quotas though

Do you happen to know whether or not USA and/or Mexico have already announced their MTB teams? I'm specifically interested in the women.

I believe the US rejected it’s quotas in that event.

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
