Although I think this is a political decision and nothing to do with the Covid situation

Yeah, that’s possible. Japan and North Korea’s relations could be described as “strained” at best. North Korea had to get special dispensation from Japan to even let their athletes enter the country to compete at the 2017 Asian Winter Games.

this is sad, any country missing the Olympics is sad. I don't know (nobody knows I assume) how things work in North Korea but I assume winning an Olympic medal will change the life for everybody, even in North Korea. some of their athletes will miss their lifetime chance :( hopefully there will be a solution

I believe that Turkmenistan and several small Pacific nations will miss this too.

Turkmenistan is sending wrestlers to the Asian OQT, don't count on our Turkmen friends :d

 

btw I recently found out I can watch most  Turkmen state TV channels from where I live :d interesting stuff :p their sport channel shows "teaching Chess" + "Serie A " that's the best combination ever. :d and everything is green in their studios

 

just kidding, not trying to make fun of any country, but between our neighbor countries, Turkmenistan is the one I'm less informed about. so I was kind of curious to see what's happening on their TV.

If Palau, Guam, American Samoa, FSM can travel to Tunisia for Olympic Qualifiers they won't skip the Olympics for sure. PNG ,Fiji and Samoa definitely are medal contenders so don't see that coming. 

 

I have a little doubt on Nauru and Marshall Islands but New Zealand will take care of them just like that of  cook islands .

 

I don't know about some poorer african nations hope they get some support.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
