Which raises a new question: how does an ice hockey team withdrawing lead to two other nations participating in other sports?  

 

Or are "Bahrain withdrew" and "Jordan and Uzbekistan are confirmed to compete" to separate things that have nothing to do with one another?

Sorry lol, I was typing on my mobile and forgot to write Jordan will compete in alpine skiing and Uzbekistan in figure skating (they entered way after the entries deadline).

Also for your interests, the Sri Lankan athlete will not compete in the Biathlon competitions, the IBU has refused to let him, so he will just compete in cross-country skiing.

It's really a shame they don't use the standard sportresult thing for results and schedules, but their own rather crappy and amateuristic design
