Russian CC ski team are never the happiest at any time, this is not going to make them any sunnier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In PyeongChang they were already not allowed to compete under their flag but still one of my most sympathetic memories from the games was the super happy face of Yulia Belorukova during the sprint and relays podiums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 15,135 Posted January 19, 2021 #83 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The organization has now confirmed there will be no spectactors allowed at the world championships At least it ends a month-long time of doubt about whether or not I'd be able to go there and whether or not it would be responsible/smart to go there even if I could (think travel, insurance and so on). hckošice 1 .

heywoodu 15,135 Posted February 2, 2021 #85 Share Posted February 2, 2021 In need of some help here, related to the qualifying path for the 2022 Olympics. First off, here is the qualifying document: https://nocnsf.nl/media/3503/beijing-2022-qualification-system-cross-country-skiing.pdf Now, the question is how/if a country could get two female quota places, I find it a little hard to read and combine all options in the given document. Would the following scenario be possible? - The country earns the maximum of one female quota at the World Championships, thanks to at least one of the three women (or more, of course) going under 300 FIS points in at least one of the races there. - The same country then earns a second female quota by finishing in the top-30 of the Nation Rankings (also, where can said Nation Rankings be found? It's different than the Nation Cup?) I am mostly confused by the second point: do the nations between 21st and 30th place get one more quota besides the basic quota from D.1, or is that still a maximum of one quota and is it impossible for nations ranked 21st or lower to have two female quotas? .
