Seven Russian athletes have appeared in Syria National team squad at Pan Arab Games and some of them have changed names and birthdays. Russian officials in federations claimed they even didn't know about it. Russian ministry of sport claimed that only two of them Milana Mugu (Mrad) (judo) and Alexandra Maximova (gymnastics) changed their citizenship officially and the information about the others on the official Games website is a mistake.

Nikita Klevchenya (Speed Skating) will compete for :wKAZ: too. 

Judging by his results, I doubt he'll ever really be visible internationally, but the name is very interesting! Son of? If so, that would explain the Kazakhstan move as well, I believe the big Klevchenya has been Kazakhstan's coach at least for a while.

Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin (figure skating) will compete for :GEO since the new season.

Lol, rumors was they would represent :USA. Guess that would have been too much a betrayal for Eteri’s daughter.

 

(Davis is an American citizen, Smolkin has a green card and they both live in the US. Their link to Georgia is… one of Davis’ grandparenrs is from there.

    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster

    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
