There is still the possibility that this will be drop in the autumn meeting.

Per any chance this happened, and the idiotic team->individual decision is moved to the trash where it belongs?

As of October 2nd, no, it's still going on.

 

Quote

FIS Cross-Country World Cup Rules 2020/21

 

In addition to the existing additional quota COC leader/winner rule, a definition was approved to rule 3.1.4 in case of cancellations of COC competitions.


As already approved in the sprint meetings, athletes competing in team competitions will score individual World Cup points according to the final ranking of their team. Relays will count for Distance World Cup and Overall World Cup standings. Team Sprints will count for the Sprint World Cup and Overall World Cup standing. The updated table for individual points in team competitions can be found in rule 6.1.2 in the updated World Cup rules.


Regulations concerning the C-19 Event preparation group have been adapted in the World Cup Rules and added to the FIS Nordic JWSC and U23 WSC Rules.

Can still be non-approved on October 9th, but I fear it will not happen. I really don't get why would they do this, seems extremely unfair to anyone not from Norway (and a bit from Russia).

 

I'll still watch, I'm a fan, but a pissed one.

It's raceweek :woohoo::woohoo:

The classic mass starts on Saturday will be on a new track layout at the local park in São Carlos (Damha). The sprints and the freestyle interval races will be at the same tracks as the past four times these distances have been held there, which makes for interesting stuff in terms of comparing times - unless it's going to rain, which is a fairly real possibility.

Either a lie or a mistake from the Brazilian federation there. It says 'these races also count for the ranking towards the Olympics!', but their recent internal criteria document very clearly and literally stated no rollerski races will count towards the Olympics. So either they've changed that again (which wouldn't be surprising), or they've made a mistake (which wouldn't be surprising) or they're outright lying (last option, but....one which wouldn't be surprising).

And that's another Brazilian Rollerski Circuit victory for @brunamoura :woohoo: 

https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=CC&raceid=36634

 

Surprisingly close though, Duda Ribera was only 15 seconds behind, that's...new! There was word of her trainings going very well, it's good to see that is indeed the case. Also, strong wind had an effect as well on the race, with Duda and Mika Picin working together to try and chase Bruna, who had opened up the gap on the first uphill and managed to hold on until the finish despite the wind blowing in their faces.

 

As for the men, a breakaway of four sprinted for the win, with young Gu Oliveira being the maybe not very surprising, but definitely new name in the top, very interesting development right there.

Our favorite Brazilian cross-country skier has been beaten :yikes: 

 

Young Tatah da Silva was too strong in the last meters of today's freestyle sprint final, where Bruna was leading for roughly 1.37 of 1.4 kilometers. Oh well, that happens and there's no shame at all when someone is simply a bit too strong on a given day. I was very impressed with Tatah's skiing in the sprints last year, so I'm not that surprised she is the first new woman to take a win. Third place for Duda, who beforehand I'd have given a better chance.

 

As for the men: young Gu Oliveira took his very first Rollerski Circuit win as well, what a day for the youngsters! Olympian Victor Santos was comfortably the fastest in qualifying, but was disqualified for a double false start in the final...

 

Next up: tomorrow's 5k freestyle, time for revenge :bones:

Totallympics has got another Brazilian Rollerski Circuit win :woohoo: 

 

The 5k freestyle, as announced yesterday: revenge! @brunamoura crossed the line with a victory scream in what was a massive new personal best time! Second place for Duda, who absolutely broke apart her old PB :bowdown: The women and girls are improving left and right and that is really awesome to see!

Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg will not compete this season. She and her medical staff have stated they are still concerned over her health issues when it comes to her overall energy intake which is still not sufficient to compete for a whole season. Her insufficient energy intake also raises concerns about her being more prone to injuries. She will focus on training this winter and put her focus towards Beijing 2022.

The Norwegian Ski Association and FIS have decided to postpone the Cross-Country, Nordic Combined and Ski Jumping World Cups planned from December  4-6 to later in the season due to the current COVID-19 prevention measures in Norway.

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
