My bad, didn't realize Canada lost a quota. Then they'll likely reject 2 out of 3 women's quotas. Marion Thenault would start in the team event.

Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.

6 teams in the Aerials mixed team competition? What is this an additional team sport at the Summer Olympics? 

Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.

Wow. it is really a big risk. We faced with this in Beijing when by the day of the start we had no enogh athletes out of the COVID quarantine.

 

And if it is possible to stay with 1 quota only for W Aerials? As far as I can understand the normal license limit for NOC is 30 but is rised to 32 only  for the NOCs qualified aerials team.

Yes even with 32, Canada has too much depth and better performing athletes in the other disciplines.

NEW. AERIALS.

Switzerland with a women's quota. So they will have a team

The Italian athlete with a quota is ineligible to Australia should get the quota. Canada will likely reject one quota so then France would another quota as well. The US may also reject a quota.

I wonder what they will do with the women's halfpipe as there is less athletes than quota.

The biggest intrigue: what quotas will be cut?

[Topicmaster1010 5,572]

Just now, avlar said:

The biggest intrigue: what quotas will be cut?

My guesses:

 

 Canada

1 in men's moguls

1 in men's halfpipe

2 in men's slopestyle/big air

 

2 in women's aerials

1 in women's ski cross

 

 USA

Either 1 in men's moguls or both ski cross quotas

 

1 quota in women's ski cross
