Close, but no cigar... Dadić is 309th in the distance rankings.

 

Maybe he can climb, but it will be very hard.

Unfortunately we lost a quota in alpine skiing, at least for now. 

 

Natko lost his AC fis points as he is not in top 30 anymore and is now in 215th place. Probably that is still enough.

Should be, as he is still ahead of Rodeš who is likely to qualify anyway.

 

I've made some simulations, and realistically we can expect around 30 or more reallocations, what would even put the likes of Komšić and Štimac on the bubble (taking into account that most of the spots on reallocation list come from big nations/nations who will decline). At least 3 should be safe though.

30 reloccations-who?

[dcro 10,210]

Swiss have made their selections in sliding sports. No Natalia Maag, as expected.

 

 

Obratov's qualification is now just the question of formality.

Mostly Norway, Sweden and Germany.

 

Norway - 22 quotas, currently 9 athletes selected (10 selected in 2014), will be at least 10 reallocations presumably

Sweden - 13 quotas, currently 8 selected

Germany - 16 quotas, 11 athletes reached internal standards

 

And then we have the likes...

Liechtenstein - 5 quotas, will not use more than 2

Netherlands - 2 quotas, will decline both

Belgium - 2 quotas, will (likely) decline both

Cayman Islands - 1 quota, both Travers brothers retired, nobody left

Denmark - 2 quotas, will decline women's quota

New Zealand - 2 quotas, will also likely decline women's quota

Japan - 6 quotas, used only 2/8 quotas in 2014, so I expect something similar

Mexico/Albania - 2 quotas, both of their female racers haven't entered a single race this season, it's questionable

And I'm pretty sure that between CAN/FIN/FRA/GBR/SLO/USA at least 2-3 more will be found

 

Maybe I missed some more...

 

All this equals 30-40 reallocations.

Obratov is in

Excellent FIS points for the guys today. Now we are basically guaranteed at least 4 additional places.

So that's gonna be at least 16 athletes. Maybe 17-18 if really lucky.

Very smart move by Croski. Finally one federation who knows how to do its job  

 

all will  improve their rankings significantly except Natko
