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 :d

  • 2 weeks later...

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).

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?

Bit worried that Commentators will mix them up with the Italian & US suits during the tight sprint finishes.

    • Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that
    • If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?
    • Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?
    • Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková
    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.  
    • Also, I just logged back into my account, where it sent me to update my profile, and when I saved that, I got a screen that included a check mark next to 'Registered for the Draw'.  Not sure I totally trust it, but it does at least say so.  (There's nothing specifically referencing Drop 2 or anything...might just be a stock screen.). I'm curious what it would look like if you looked at it @esube.  https://tickets.la28.org/
