RobtheAggie 340 Posted December 10, 2020 #341 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The first Alpine Cup race was scheduled for tomorrow in Martell. It is cancelled but the other events in the new year are still scheduled at this time. Other dates: FORNI AVOLTRI (ITA) 07.01.21 - 10.01.21 Individual | SPRINT ARBER (GER) 01/28/21 - 01/31/21 Individual | SUPER SPRINT POKLJUKA (SLO) 03/18/21 - 03/21/21 Individual | SUPER SINGLE I think that we will see some interesting names in the smaller/regional races during the Christmas break. Estonia will host the Baltic Cup for example. WIth no IBU CUP until later, these races, if they happen, stand a very good chance to see in increase in competitors as well as quality.

Olympian1010 7,484 Posted December 13, 2020 #343 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Is the IBU still using this season’s Nations Cup standings for Beijing 2022 qualification? If so, can those rankings be viewed somewhere? “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

There might also be individual spots again like last time, for a small number of athletes from nations outside of the top-X, which are handed out based on a ranking that's not publicly available (the IBU Qualifying Points List). 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!

Okay, so then the document I have might still be accurate. If it is, allocation works as follows: 1-3 2020/2021 Nations Cup: 6 quotas 4-10 2020/2021 Nations Cup: 5 quotas 11-20 2020/2021 Nations Cup: 4 quotas IBU Individual Qualifying Points List after the 5th World Cup in 2021/2022: 12 quotas (max of 2 per country to unqualified NOCs) Reallocation: Next best athlete on the IBU QPL 2021/2022 “Sport has the power to change the world.

I spent God knows how many hours trying to find this list and even trying to keep it updated myself (because the points per race are always posted after every race, but the total list is a non-published secret even though it's incredibly important once you look outside of the top nations), but all I kept finding was one list from one trimester which happened to be somewhere on Biathlon Canada's website. One would think an important list, on which - among others - Olympic qualifying depends for a number of athletes, would not be impossible to find. Especially from a federation which generally has a very good results and PDF's system.

RobtheAggie 340 Posted December 17, 2020 #350 Share Posted December 17, 2020 So where does this leave biathlon? The result from today's CAS appeal reduced Russia's ban from 4 to 2 years. But can they compete in the World Championships? Can they have a biathlon team in the Olympics? Quota's are done by nation, and if Russia is not allowed, how do the people qualify? What about the relay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
