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).

 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  already rejected their original quota, so it seems unlikely they'll accept this one.

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.
