I believe the organizing committee set the team max

That could be the case as well, I just know that in the past the men’s tournament has generally had 12 teams, and the women’s 8 teams.

Where can one find the exact eligibility rules in order to compete (in cross-country skiing, specifically)? I can find this document, which mentions some rules around having to be eligible, but it doesn't say exactly who is eligible.

It is specifically about Gabi Neres and whether or not she'd be eligible to compete.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Have you seen this?  Basically

  1. Must be a student
  2. Age requirement
  3. Permission from national Governing Body
  4. COVID stuff

Think that’s about it. In the past I’ve seen FISU CC competitions where the competitors range from Justyna Kowalczyk etc to people whose only recommendation seems to be the possession of wealthy, doting parents.

Thanks, I had not seen that! Although I did see 28 years being mentioned, but if I'm not mistaken they changed that to 25 years as maximum age from Luzern onwards? Which would still be fine in Gabi's case, since she'll turn 26 in May 2022.

 

I'll send this on though, after today's races we'll see if she is within these rules :)

b) former students of the institutions mentioned in a), who have obtained 
their academic degree or diploma in the calendar year preceding the event.

Should that be read as 'all of 2020' or as 'between 11 December 2020 and 11 December 2021'? I'm not entirely sure. 

 

In Gabi's case, she 'finished' her study in 2019 but received her diploma in January 2020 (the date on the diploma is from that month). As we saw early last year, we really can't count on the Brazilian federation figuring this stuff out, that's why we are trying.

From the WU2021 Games Regulations as of January 2021:

 

Quote

5.2.4 Nationality and Age Restriction
a) All athletes must satisfy the following conditions:
- be a national of the country they represent (with exception in Ice Dance events – c.f. Figure Skating Sports Regulations); FISU Regulations January 2021
- be at least 18 and no older than 25 years of age on the 31st December of the year of the event (WU2021: the athletes must be born between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 2003).
b) Athletes participating in FISU sport events must represent the same country as in their respective International Federations events. Changes of sport nationality must follow respective IF rules.

Yeah, so if there's an issue with her eligibility, age is definitely not it, because she's born in 1996. The most uncertain thing is about the date of her diploma and on what exactly they mean with the 'preceding calendar year'.

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
