Do you think it is possible to be a spot reallocated here? Is a country who will decline a quota?

It's annoying IBU isn't like FIS in this sense. FIS' page is perfect to keep track of things, IBU has....nothing. As far as I know we have to simply wait for them to say the final list or something.

It looks like Andrea Mezdrea got a reallocated spot for Romania, at least after what the Romanian Olympic Committee posted on Facebook :D

Really wonder who has (officially) declined one then. I know Germany earlier said they would likely do so, but no idea if that's official yet. Might also raise a tiny bit of hope for Gaia Brunello..

Honestly no idea but it might be only a mistake, it wouldn't be the first time

I've been trying to find out if GBR has rejected both quotas

???

Still no definitive update on whether or not anyone has refused anything, correct?

I asked a Polish journalist on twitter and he said there are no rellocations.

I wonder where Romania thinks they got their second quota from then. And no reallocations at all would suggest Germany pulled back their turd, as we'd so eloquently say in Dutch, and did take them all at the end..
