No, for the YOG the IBU doesn’t have that unfortunate rule. They way it works for the YOG is:

1. The top 10 nations in the 2018/2019 World Cup ranking get 4 boys quotas and 4 girls quotas

2. A combined ranking was made for the other nations. The best 20 nations on that ranking get 3 boys quotas and 3 girls quotas (so by your performance in the IBU Cup, you actually earned Brazil YOG quotas :p)

For the regular qualification that’s it.

 

Now, if quotas get a rejected it works like this:

The next nation in that combined ranking (31, then 32, then 33, and so on) get 1 spot for each gender (assuming that both genders still have openings).

 

As it is right now, I know 6 girls spots and 5 boys spots need to be reallocated. So 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 would get 1 boy and 1 girl, and 36 would get 1 girl.

 

However, the IBU didn’t publish that combined ranking, so I don’t have any clue what countries would get the spots.

Which is all a little weird...I mean, there's an IBU Junior Cup nowadays, they don't give quotas but the seniors in the World Cup do?

It's so painful to be an old lady :cry:

But Iam happy to know my results were enough to earn quotes. It's just a shame we can't use them.

 

That's a fair system. At least more athletes will have an opportunity. It's a shame the same doesn't work for the Olympics.

Thanks for the explanation! ☺️

Yeah, I’m hoping against hope that the IBU reverses that policy for Beijing 2022. I’d love to see :BIH:BRA:MGL:DEN:CRO:ESP at the Olympics again.

Sweden declining all five women's quotas for 2014 was a present from heaven for the smaller nations...too bad the reallocation was turned into something pretty useless last time :(

According to my federation, no changes of criterias are expected from IBU for 2022 yet. Only from FIS. I really hope FIS doesn't make it as hard as IBU does.

Into to something completely useless. I understand the reasoning for it, but having 20 countries in the relays instead of 15 didn’t really make a huge impact.

Yes, the IOC is giving the FIS less quotas this time. Athletes of your caliber should be completely fine unless they do something really dramatic. You will probably need to be the best Brazilian though.

:bones:

I heard something about the nation needing to work together (all athletes) to get a quote instead of each athlete trying for themselves. Also, not all races will count anymore, just some specific ones (which includes WC and both senior and under23 WCh). But, nothing confirmed yet so I still can't make my plans.

Well it’s safe to say that the majority of this forum is cheering for you :clap:. We can help interrupt the qualification documents and such. Just be careful with the information @heywoodu gives you, he has a reputation for telling countries they’ve qualified for the Olympics when they haven’t apparently (also, never travel with him to Tonga. He’s a dead man the moment he gets off the airplane there ??). I and many users are always looking for athletes to support, so should you need something, feel free to say something on the forum :yes

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
