Very cool list. I would eliminate Rosbo from there though since  and  are the same NOC and he would be the third. But that is really nitpicking. So much better having an Olympics with no host exceptions to the rules.

That is the tricky thing, I believe that the scores take three trimesters into account so some athletes will have scores that are too old by the time the olympics come.

I think (but really not sure) the current points take into account the whole season 24/25. For the Olympics only two trimesters will count from this season plus first trimester next year. 
I don’t know the trimester definition /dates but we can assume that all results before Christmas will not count. 

Edited March 24 by prso1000

[prso1000 682]

The first trimester ended on the 22.12.24, which for sure means those results will not count. 2nd trimester ended on 26.01.2025. all results after that will count for sure. Not sure about the 2nd trimester as qualification period lasts until 18.01.2026. I would assume only last trimester of this season plus all events next year until 18.01 will count, but that’s my view. If correct the current list is not really saying much.

Think these links should work for the weekend's races.

Hasn't competed internationally in years (since before Beijing) and it looks like she was never really that big of a promise...very curious to see if she'll manage to get herself into the World Cup team, instead of the Meinen's and Cadurisch's of the IBU Cup.
