Cosmo Kramer 1 Posted January 21 #82 Share Posted January 21 Is it 16 players in an Olympic hockey squad? That would take us to 85 qualifiers in total so far. Great numbers this far out from the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great days even if I am starting to run out of Olympics to look forward to. 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one chance left. But we can definitely count the womens relay as two more quotas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 705 Posted February 18 #89 Share Posted February 18 FWIW they have said that they’ll accept any invitations for Paris (unlike Tokyo when they said they wouldn’t but ended up having to to fill the relay team) Theres space for Ferguson and McCusker as not a huge amount of qualifiers world wide Oldira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicIRL 4,771 Posted February 18 Author #90 Share Posted February 18 (edited) I've a lot of updating to do on the qualification tracker! I am assuming I should go ahead and count the swim relay quotas for now and revise it if we don't qualify the requisite number of individual athletes to make up the relay squads. Would you all agree? The women's medley relay squad already have 2 qualified athletes so they should be good anyway. I think the men's will be fine also but we might have to sweat it out to see if a couple of our guys will be high enough up the rankings to receive invitations in their individual events.
