All quotas known (at least in theory), qualification process complete. Just over 25 days to go until the games!

And again :IND fail to qualify a single athlete :facepalm:

 

I wish the sprint skiing events had like universality spots for any country failing to qualify to be able to send 1 man or 1 woman or maybe in short track speed skating or speed skating something like that. Unless there isn't 140-150 nations participating at minimum these will not attract interest in youth. Though most nations may not have snow at least qualifications or invitations can help their citizens residing in Europe or America with colder conditions to join the team and qualify. I'm against having athletes from other countries participating after getting citizenship but rather those which have origin from the respective countries but residing elsewhere.

In most sports all eligible athletes qualified. Cross Country Skiing and Alpine Skiing gave spots to every country that had a youth skier. India just didn’t have any winter youth athletes (or not any who could meet very easy qualification marks).

That's because our federation doesn't even know these games exist.

Well the you can’t really blame the IOC/FIS. They’ve promoted these games well, and really India could have qualified a skier without knowing they exist because of how basic the requirements are. I am sad that India doesn’t get to participate, especially since they’ve always sent good delegations to the Asian Winter Games.

IOC just doesn't promote winter yog much. Even when Bach met IOA president  winter sports was never in discussion . The federations aren't rich and government doesn't think there's any chance. So if you're rich you can participate. Something like Summer YOG is much more easier to follow especially when some already famous athletes are participating. 

 

 

Mean while Odisha vs Mumbai for a 2026 summer YOG bid ,IOA made it clear. Even Delhi is there but water sports are difficult so is pollution.

The problem lies more with the IOA. They’ve failed to invest in winter sports really. Every federation is being kept alive by grassroots organization. There’s nothing wrong with that it just limits the possibilities. Information about the 2020YOG was very accessible. Every qualification document was posted well in advance. There’s been social media marketing, and the IOC has run frequent notices about the games. I just think the IOA weren’t interested in sending a representative.

Plus one can assume youth skiers who would potentially be eligible have some interest in their own sport...and thus would know of the existence of this event, and make sure the federation at least is aware of it's existence. Indeed, blaming IOC/FIS really makes no sense at all.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.

    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict. But the West's strategy backfired as it pushed Russia to friendship with China.
