:AZE has already started so probably not too long

Which of these?

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!

Some research would have led you to discover all of the Azeri skiers who have competed at the Olympics are foreign born 

Sure, but the suggestion kind of sounded like Azerbaijan is all the time competing with hands full of Austrian and Swiss skiers, but in the past it has been 1 Swiss, 1 Austrian (who had some contacy with/in Azerbaijan already so that kind of made sense) and 1 Russian/Georgian male, and 1 female Italian.

 

Nothing like they do in other sports, and considering this is a 20-year period, there also isn't really much of a trend, so...not worried :p 

 

:QAT on the other hand...I don't think they started? But for them I would not be surprised if they pull out all the stops once they do..

What are the odds :QAT starts buying Austrian and Swiss skiers? ;)

:QAT method is not quite like the other countries mentioned - they subsidise young athletes to come to the National Sporting Academy and then adopt them on residency rules.   So not much different from :ESP :POR :USA.  But certainly that method will probably work better with young African sprinters than with Norwegian biathletes.
