Why did they need to remove anything? I don’t remember any quota reductions for figure skating.

ISU overall had a quota reduction of 4, 2 in FS and 2 in SS

And the stupidity began… just reduce the hotel stars the IOC members require to hook up with prostitutes, and costs should reduce 30% or more

The slightly updated qualification system for cross-country skiing has been doing the rounds amongst athletes, but I can't find it online anywhere yet (like on FIS' website), any idea where to look?

 

Don't have it at hand right now, but I believe the main thing in terms of eligibility for athletes is being under 300 (men) or under 350 (women) FIS points at the 2025 world championships, which I think is a change specifically for the women.

 

There's been massive discussion about this system for a while now, especially about the eligibility only coming from a single event (like, you qualify at the world championships or not at all).

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!

Cross Country skiing, change from 300 to now 350 FIS points as the max. Though the paragraph says 300, the chart shows 350 :dunno: No change in quota

Freestyle skiing: No change in quotas

Hockey

Luge: Each singles event loses 10! quotas and the men's doubles loses a sled. This creates an additional 22 quotas, which will be used for the women's doubles event. 

Nordic combined max number of athletes per NOC dropped from 5 to 3 (2 really)

Ski jumping: Quota is gender equal (65 men to 50 men from 2022 to 2026, and 45 women in 2022 to 50 women in 2026). For men's a country must have 4 skiers in the top 25 allocation list to qualify the maximum 4 jumpers.

Snowboarding: Quotas remain the same from Beijing, but the number per NOC drops to max 13 per gender (from 14). Also it looks like a country can enter 3 SBX teams, I believe it was 2 in 2022.

 

All the systems (except alpine skiing) are now available on the IOC's website.

Alpine skiing qualification system was approved today: Link

 

There were no changes to the overall quota from 2022, but there was a pretty significant change in the FIS Points needed to qualify in Giant Slalom and Slalom…

 

2022: 160.00 
2026: 120.00
 

It will be interesting to see how this affects overall participation at the Games.
 

NOCs will be allowed a maximum of 4 teams per gender in the combined events.
