intoronto 4,354 Posted January 18, 2022 #2193 Share Posted January 18, 2022 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 also rejected the women's half-pipe reallocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada also rejected the women's half-pipe reallocation. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

NearPup 2,232 Posted January 19, 2022 #2198 Share Posted January 19, 2022 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.

Topicmaster1010 2,482 Posted January 19, 2022 #2199 Share Posted January 19, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
