We also saw a decrease from 2018 to 2022. More than likely numbers will dip

It really sucks too, since we’re finally seeing some non-traditional NOCs put some earnest investment into the sliding and skating sports/disciplines. 
 

I do wonder how long that will last if they don’t see some return on investment?

Thailand this cycle has been impressive. Alpine, cross country, luge, skeleton, bobsleigh and short track. Possible quota in freestyle.

I was going to post something about them tomorrow. It shows you what an honest investment into winter sports can achieve though (at least at the youth level).

:BRA might be able to enter a relay in cross country skiing should they accept a reallocation in both genders @heywoodu. They're the first NOC outside a reallocation slot on the men's side, but :BEL already rejected their original quota, so it seems unlikely they'll accept this one.

:IND:KEN are now eligible for a reallocations in alpine skiing. :ALG might miss out by two spots :( @intoronto

Slopestyle athletes can also compete in the half pipe, granted the maximum # per NOC has not been surpassed

Hopefully a couple decide to give it a go then, because those entry numbers are woeful.

    • It would be a complete disaster quotas wise. The winter games already have too small of an athlete quota for the current program.

    • Sorry but this is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard… putting in 3x3 hockey (which doesn’t even have its own World Championships or anything like that) over telemark skiing, ice cross, and freeride skiing…    This is coming from a big fan of hockey. Curious as to what @hckošice @phelps @Epic Failure @copravolley@Topicmaster1010 think though?
    • Dawn McEwen will be unretiring temporarily (first time since Beijing 2022), as she’ll be stepping in for Shannon Birchard at the GSOC HearingLife Tour Challenge! 
    • The sister of Angelina Topić, Sofija Topić, is already beating her youth records.  Sofija (11) jumped 140cm which is better Angelina's 138cm at that age. 
    • I hope there is some diversity in teams across both disciplines.   I wonder how they will get the 240 quotas. Losing Nordic Combined + Ski mountaineering is only 72 quotas.
    • Last Call For Entries!!   If anyone still wants to enter, this is your last chance to do so. Since I now won't be able to use tomorrow as a voting day I have dedcied to give people an extra 24 hours from this point to enter. The public jury vote will still open at the advertised time. Below I have tagged user from countries that have yet to enter, hopefully they will consider to do so at the last opportunity:   South Korea: @erw@jgb0062 Croatia: @Nikica@snk911@VISOKO Gabon: @Damienyork Belgium: @ALABRAMMIE@Misterxxt Latvia: @Blueniceguy Dominican Republic: @eduardo096 Singapore: @bennetcraig39 Egypt: @mahmoud elrefaei @thepharoah Qatar: @amrgunenr1@KAE Australia: @Sir Rols@Stu192 @dullard Philippines: @JohnRamos84 @PHI2019 @Tigercub Iran: @Hesamkh1990 @MHSN Estonia: @Katie_M Bangladesh: @Razu Ahmed  Montenegro: @ChandlerMne Hong Kong: @pacowong1223    Also @NaBUru38 I know you said you weren't up for doing it due to time but do you think you would reconsider? The process would now only take 3 days with you sending your song Tuesday and voting on Thursday, which isn't really too much time taken up. 
    • I just now saw this, and I already have my vote ready, oh well. 
    • Quarter final Sept 30th    2 - 1     1 - 6    Second semi final October 3rd    vs      Europe vs. South America in the  Semi finals      Probably want to see a   vs  in the final.
    • Some details on the IIHF's 3 on 3 hockey proposal: 8 team tournament for men's and women's 15 athletes per team, 240 athletes total (if they include this they better increate the 2900 athlete cap...) IOC expected to make a decision about including it in the Olympics in March
