I guess it's possible they won't compete in the women's biathlon mass start. 

Susan dunklee won medal in that just last year.  Anything can happen in biathlon.  Remember Lowell Bailey?

I voted him as my greatest moment in sports of 2017, yeah I remember

 

I know she won a medal in it, but it's still possible that they can't compete in it, same thing for the pursuit (although that chance is significantly smaller).

is the mass start competitors dependent on one of the other competitions prior?

If I'm not mistaken, part of the field (of 30 athletes) is the top-X of the World Cup and the rest is made up of the best non-qualified athletes in the other events. At least that's how it works in World Cups, I'm not 100% sure about the Olympics

Well, not the top-X of the mass start standings, but of the overall World Cup standings.

Czech Republic 94 now.  We accept all reallocation place.  So our participation in alpine skiing and cross country skiing will not be so poor in number but in performance :-)

frankly, I don't know why some names are on this list...

there are athletes that literally didn't even show up to any world cup race this season (and some others who didn't have a decent finish -let's say top 15- even in really favourable conditions)...

boh!?
