I note that the World Cup shooting stages are returning to award direct Olympic passes.

I do think they have a point, the selection criteria that ,  and  have now are completly unecessary in an era of limited quotas and they only serve to make Olympic competition worse.   Not that there aren't circumstances where rejecting quotas make sense (retirements, injury, some continental quotas in particularely weak continents), but fundamentally, if you qualify for the Olympics you should get to go.

is out of Eurovision 2026

7 nationality changes in view of the 2026 Olympics.  lost four athletes out of the 7    https://www.olympics.com/ioc/news/ioc-executive-board-approves-seven-athletes-changes-of-sporting-nationality-for-the-milano-cortina-2026-olympic-winter-games   Anyways this confirms the nationality change for the  skier, and he should now qualify. @evil betty

Moguls weekend from Idre Fjall  cancelled this weekend. 

Confirmation that the winner of FIH Pro League 25/26 will receive a quota.

And as well as Ski Cross, Snowboard Cross starts this weekend with a meet from Cervinia 

Bump for Ski Cross starting tomorrow - well, in fact, we have already had qualifiers - with Day One of a double header at Val Thorens.  

On a quick glance, the major change I am seeing is canoeing sprint, with the others more or less the same or with slight differences from 2024. Also it appears continental quotas in team events in track cycling are also gone.
