Well she is competing in Winterberg in a very reduced field, only 7 entered.  A top 3 finish would put her ahead of silva from brazil in the final spot but.....

If Silva finishes better than 17th in St. Moritz she improves her score and Hunko of Ukraine (also competing in Winterberg) could still finish ahead of both of them.  Hunko also had a 3rd place (would improve her score by 18 points) taken away for some reason (the whole event in Altenberg is not being counted for some reason).

Sadly all those calculations are now meaningless as she will not compete in Winterberg tomorrow due to postive covid test  She lost fight for Olympics in last possible moment in the worst way...

holey cow Taylor Austin racing in a WC race tomorrow.  Canada is certain of 3 sleds for Beijing anyway but might a good sign that they fully intend to send him.

In tomorrow's monobob race, Silva has to finish 15th or better to catch Andreutti, unless Andreutti finishes 17th or better, for the last olympic spot.  To catch Hunko of Ukraine Silva needs to be 13th or better, and Andreutti needs to be 16th or better.

Kibermanis wins the last race of the season, but don't read too much into it, the Latvians are always good in St. Moritz.

 

De Bruin placed 16th, for what it's worth, he failed to meet the Dutch NOC requirements.
