Final figure skating quotas:

@Vojthas Did the ISU publish the “stand-by” list for reallocations yet. The qualification document says they are supposed to by October 30. It would be nice to have because it appears we will have a few reallocations...

Nevermind. It looks like they already added the known reallocations for now. It just took me a while to figure that out.

:PRK looks set for their first winter YOG appearance. I would be willing to bet that quota gets reallocated (unless they’ve already confirmed it (I a bit confused by the process))

Also, while the skating quality will be higher, we will not see the likes of :ARG or :MAS this time :(

The reserve list is in the same document, but as you noticed later the reallocations are already counted here.

Alright, so the first IBSF qualification series races take place this week. Below I’ve posted the nations that are going for qualification (and least in Europe). There will be 4 races for each event in Europe, and then a further 4 races for each event in North America. Athletes must participate in at least 4 races to be eligible for YOG. The IBSF will have a points list where you can keep track of the qualification process.


*These are NOT quotas, just the countries attempting qualification

 

Women’s Skeleton:

:RUS:SUI:GER:LIE:SWE:LAT:TPE:BEL:AUT:POL:CHN

 

Men’s Skeleton:

:SWE:USA:CZE:TPE:LAT:BEL:AUT:DEN:GER:SUI:RUS

 

Women’s Monobob:

Men’s Monobob:

It's a little sad to see there's not a single Dutch athlete trying qualification. Even Liechtenstein tries in three (!) events, come on. I'm a little too lazy to check, but I thought they at least have one who is pretty promising, but I might be wrong.

Well there are another 2 races in Germany, but that would mean they’d need to attend events in the US/Canada

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
