@heywoodu @hckosice @dcro @Dragon I’m interested to hear your opinions on the qualification methods and events for the YOG? I feel like this format is way, way better (besides ice hockey :crazy:) than the Summer YOG

The only thing I know about the qualification is that for both Brazil and Australia a biathlete at this year's world junior championships is going to try and qualify a spot for someone else :p

Ok, so If I’ve read the qualification documents properly, and if the FIS or national federations do some weird crap. The following countries should be guaranteed the following quotas:

 

Cross Country (Each country below receives 3 male and 3 female quotas, based on the Marc Hodler Trophy or as Host):

:SUI:AUT:CZE:FIN:FRA:GER:ITA:NOR:POL:RUS:USA

 

Ski Jumping (Each country below receives 2 male and 2 female quotas, based on the Marc Hodler Trophy or as Host):

:SUI:AUT:FRA:GER:ITA:JPN:KAZ:NOR:POL:RUS:SLO

 

Nordic Combined (Each country below receives 2 male and 2 female quotas, based on the Marc Hodler Trophy or as Host):

:SUI:AUT:FIN:FRA:GER:ITA:JPN:NOR:RUS:SLO:USA

 

The rest of the quotas in these disciplines will be filled by the YOG Quota List/Ranking to be posted on December 9, 2019.

From what I can tell the following nations should a awarded quotas (1 Male and 1 Female) in Ski Mountaineering based on their overall cadet rankings in continental Championships in 2018.

:AUT:CAN:CHN:FRA:IRI:ITA:ESP:SUI:USA (the US has already announced it will turn down the quotas (not offical yet though))

 

The rest of the Ski Mountaineering quotas will be distributed at the 2019 World Championships.

    • it's Spain vs   so give the ticket to someone else 
    • Finished my purchases with 3 tickets   Switzerland - Bosnia (Thanks Italy) Round of 32 - Should be spain vs austria Quarter Final - Possible Spain vs Belgium
    • Basically, NOCs can attempt to qualify in additional events without gaining athlete quotas. For example, let's say a nation already qualified in the 4- and 4x, they can use the athletes they plan to send in those events and try to qualify in the 8+. That's where the extra coxswains will be used. If a nation intends to attempt to double-up they must let World Rowing know before the final qualifier regatta.   There's a good chance the quotas may not be used and will have to be reallocated. Looking at 2024, only  would have been eligible for the men while the women there's . With that said there's no guarantee they would have wanted to double-up their athletes.   In reality we are more likely to see the reverse, nations who qualified in the 4x, 4-, or 8+ doubling-up athletes for the 1x, 2x, 2-.
    • Hey everyone, how are you all?   Reading the qualification document here and the "3 quotas for additional coxswain" is very confusing to me. Can someone (try to) explain to me please how those quotas will be assigned?    Thank you so much

    • In a country as big as , the odds of Olympians being close to you are quite small; however, once I realized several months ago that even a state as small as mine hosts Olympians on occasion, I decided to scour each sport's calendar to make sure I caught them when they come around.  That led me to the middle of nowhere in my own state today, where there was a 4* Eventing competition, featuring a couple of Olympians and/or World Champion athletes.   Most all the athletes here were local or from USA, but there were a couple who compete for   or .  When we walked up, I had no idea what I was doing.  I thought I was in the right arena at the venue, but I didn't really see anyone there.  (There weren't any stands full of spectators, nor did I see any judges...it was time for dressage.). One of the ladies turned around and we struck up conversation.  Turns out I was in the right spot, and they were just on a short break.  She directed my attention to the upcoming athlete, Caroline Pamukcu.  Thanks to my research ahead of time, I knew she was on the Paris 2024 Eventing Team.  The lady we were talking with was the owner of the horse Caroline was riding.  After she finished with her dressage round, she got off the horse and was just standing there talking with her crew.  We went over and had a brief chat and one of the other ladies offered to take our picture.     I asked Caroline if she was aiming for LA28, and she said yes.  I've also since shown the girls and wifey the video from her Paris 2024 jumping competition.  Hope she makes the team this year!   (Caroline has a Gold Individual Eventing and Silver Team Eventing medal from the 2023 PanAms.  Boyd Martin from the Paris team was also there, himself having a WCh Silver and three gold PanAms.  Tamra Smith, who has a Silver from the 2022 WCh, was there as well.  Waylon Roberts, who represents  and has a PanAm Silver competed.  I saw a few more Dressage rounds, then watched them all do the Jumping.  Didn't get to see Cross-Country, but they'll have another similar event in October.)
