Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022 Qualification Systems


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

Rumour has it the cross-country qualifying is going to get a big change. No longer will being under 300 FIS points be enough, but first a nation has to get a quota, which can be earned (apparently) through the World Cups and World Championships (junior, U23 and senior) and only then can a nation send an athlete who is under 300 points. Much like the biathlon system.

 

Good on one hand, but whether or not I'm happy with it depends on the amount of nations who can qualify through this system. If it's as shitty as in biathlon, that'd suck big time.

You can blame those athletes  who games the system last time

And the time before. I've always said the current FIS points system is terrible and makes it completely impossible to somewhat compare athletes. The IBU points are way better, too bad IBU sucks so bad in publishing them (it's as good as impossible to keep track of the list) whereas FIS is great at that.

Cross country: wow max team size is 8 per gender!) and you can use biathletes in the relay

Figure Skating: one less pair and ice dance

Snowboarding: Cuts across the board, wow.

Well, bobsleigh didn’t suffer terrible cuts (so thank the powers that be). Skeleton on the hand...

That’s a shame to me. A lot of the “smaller” nations can afford to fund skeleton, and we’ve seen some untraditional nations athletes do well at the games. Losing 18% of athletes is one of most dramatic cuts we’ll see (at least in the short term). I am glad they preserved four-man, but on the other hand, I would have preferred 30 in both the skeleton fields and 25 in the four-man.

 

Also, quite a big deal to see the regional clause cut. There’s almost no reason for non-traditional nations to even try and qualify under this system. Qualification just to got exponentially harder in most events.

Yeah, lots of cuts as expected. Myself and @Vojthas are recording an “emergency” TWU episode to break these all down in detail. The episode should be out late tonight/early tomorrow.

Great news!! Big countries have a long tradition of sending 20 athletes, and then only letting 13-15 compete. If there ever was a waste of quotas!

    • Disappointing end of the race, wanted to see history this year 
    • A lot of sports have been ruined with rule changes, modern pentathlon has actually better with these rules I think. I would never watch something span over 2 days. Short and quick finals is what most audience want.   Obviously can be optimised further, but this is definitely an excellent job and that's how a sport should be.
    • World Cup 1     Cairo, April 7-12       Women: Gold: Blanka Guzi - 1,488 pts (New World Record) Silver: Anastasiya Malashenoka  Bronze: Viyaleta Hureyeva    Men: Gold: Moutaz Mohamed  - 1,608 pts (New World Record) Silver: Mathis Rochat  Bronze: Mihaly Koleszar 
    • Felt the athletes didn't give it their all in swimming, it was slow
    • China was not at the Olympics. You played Japan.   Taking any conculsions after 1 match is too early and premature. Norway is definitely by any mean not a punching bag, They are a team relegated from the Top division. Nobody is going to blown them. In the opposite China yes, they were piss poor today, totally harmless, this is not China from the pre and Beijing era, any naturalized player is not in the team anymore, only local girls who had issues even with normal skating and puck control, Was quite embarassing to watch this, but kudos to China they decided to go this harder way and reform their team with local players.   Italy is still the number one favorite for promotion, 3 points against Norway are the first and very important step. Your main games will still be Hungary and France as scripted.
    • Italy today beat Norway only 2-1 (and also was a draw in the all shots stats: 28- 26). It doesn't look good for us– our form has probably arrived in February, not now. In my opinion, Slovakia will be the favorite tomorrow – they won 7-0 against China today – and they'll probably were a peak of the form. Personally, I wasn't expecting Italy to advance and I think I was right – it's good that the minimum goal – no relegation – is almost certain. Certainly, today wasn't the same form as in February at the Olympics in the matches against France and China.
    • looking at the video and knowing Australia, I think the wind reading was wrong, it was surely a lot more windy than +1.7, but we all know that sometimes these things happen (you're so young, I don't know what you know about the 1988 Olympic Trials in Indianapolis and Florence Griffith Joyner records -still standing )
    • I call bullshit on the performances from this race    20.01 to 19.67 would be one thing, we all know how good Gout Gout has been hyped up to be, even though it feels like ridiculously impossible with how steep of an improvement it is… but almost everyone from the race has had ridiculous PB’s, I mean Murphy who’s a 20.41 guy at best is now 19.88. McHugh broke 21 seconds for the first time a month ago, and now he’s going 20.23.   Either an extremely fast track, wrong timing, favourable headwind, not sure what it is. 
    • This also kind of showed, like last year, the biggest flaw of Pogacar: technique and bike control. The way he was wrestling himself through curve after curve where natural talents like Van Aert and Van der Poel (cyclocross greats, no coincidence) were flying through.
