That isn’t the final entry list (sorry), it was the quota breakdown.

Also, this is an Olympic qualifier I believe. I will be cheering for Barbados’s girl because she has a decent chance.

Yes, you are right. It is not the entry list from the official website, but there are names of qualified athletes, with only two exceptions. However, I believe that it will not so different from this.

 

I'll check that when the official website releases the names.

Yes, it is an Olympic qualifier event. There is one ticket to Tokyo in each gender.

 

I'll be cheering for her, too :clap:  She is in a good position in QS Ranking. I am trusting in her to get this spot to Tokyo

So in Tokyo there will be 2 events Men’s Shortboard & Women’s Shortboard.  The Pan Am games offer 2 quotas (1 man & 1 woman).  But on the Lima 2019 website there is no Shortboard events.  Is it called something different????

 

The events listed are Open Surf, Longboard & SUP Surf.  

 

I am assuming it’s not longboard.

I would assume it’s Open Surf, but I could wrong. It’s not like anyone was asking for 8 surfing events, which isn’t helping the confusion.

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
