Canada National Thread

:CAN currently has 214 athletes qualified for Beijing. 

 

Alpine - 12*

Biathlon - 8

Bobsleigh - 18

Cross-Country 9

Curling - 12

Figure skating - 13

Freestyle skiing -32

Hockey - 48

Luge - 6

Short track - 10

Skeleton - 3

Ski jumping - 4

Snowboarding - 23*

Speed skating - 16

 

Canada stands to gain three reallocation in snowboarding atm, one in the women's halfpipe, and one each in the PGS events (which would put Canada at the maximum in the sport), which would increase the team to 217 athletes. Canada is assured of another women's quota in alpine (Netherlands and Liechtenstein will reject), so that brings it too 218. If another thee ahead decline, Canada would get a further two women. Not sure if all we be accepted. 

 

So Canada's final team size should be anywhere from 214-220, which ofc is less than the 224 in PyeongChang.

Canada isn't in line for the men's PGS quota, :USA has first dibs. Canada also rejected the women's half-pipe reallocation.

So comparing these numbers with 2018 (according to Wikipedia) we have the following changes

 

Alpine - -1

Biathlon - -2

Bobsleigh - 0

Cross-Country - -2

Curling - 0

Figure skating - -4

Freestyle skiing -+2

Hockey - 0

Luge - -2

Nordic - 0

Short track - 0

Skeleton - -3

Ski jumping - +2

Snowboarding - +2

Speed skating - -3

 

Slight increases in freestyle skiing, ski jumping and snowboarding while slight decreases in alpine, biathlon, cross-country, figure skating, luge, skeleton and speed skating.

My bad I was looking at the first row and thought they had rejected quotas (and wouldn't be eligible for a reallocation). The halfpipe rejection must have jsut come in, didn't see it when I wrote my post

FWIW the decrease in Biathlon and Speed Skating, along with the increase in Freestyle Skiing, are entirely due to changes in the qualification system rather than due to a change in performance.

I can predict with great certainty that Megan Farrell, Katrina Gerencser, Jennifer Hawkrigg and Kaylie Buck will be named to the Olympic team using one simple trick: Canada has now accepted four women's PGS quotas and Canada only has four eligible athletes for the event.

Now with the alpine skiing quotas reallocated, we should have a team of 216  211 athletes: 13 alpine skiiers, 8 biathletes, 18 bobsledders, 9 cross-country skiiers, 12 curlers, 13 figure skaters, 32 freestyle skiiers, 48 ice hockey players, 6 lugers, 10 short track speed skaters, 3 skeleton racers, 4 ski jumpers, 24 19 snowboarders and 16 long track speed skaters.

 

Edit: Um, so we accepted 7 PGS quotas but we're only sending 2 athletes? :mumble:

Ya, that doesn't make any sense. If they were sending two athletes they should have accepted only two quotas.

 

Someone must have made a mistake somewhere.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
