:USA Lake Placid is officially the back-up venue if the Eugenio Monti track isn't finished in time.

Your telling me there isn't a single track in Europe that could cover.

No, Lake Placid won the bid to be the back-up host over St Moritz and Igls. I don’t believe any other track expressed interest.

I guess it makes it makes as much sense as trying to frankenstein an old track in less than two years

Well, this is going to complicate things for us :GBR as some results might need to be scrubbed.

 

"Great Britain bobsleigh athlete Arran Gulliver has been provisionally suspended for failing a doping test."

Only the world championship results. World Cup should be safe because the positive happened at the start of this month.

    • Exactly the other example I thought of.   I genuinely think there's an issue with those two sports  - in Diving the rise of GB prevented somewhat embarrassing back to back to back clean sweeps; they would be well advised imho to seek to add mixed synchro, team and high dive events, which could be done faguely cleaply with relatively little rise in total quota (14 fr the high dive - the rest could be found from existing competitors), and uses only another reasonably cheap venue (Basically scaffolding with wrap, a big pool which you can reuse, and temp seating near the beach) - given the increase in beach based events - volleyball, but more so coastal rowing and beach sprint canoe, and possibly triathlon and open water swimming, there's no harm adding a nice spectacular high dive event with about 24 quotas total (12+12) - the advantage being the Chinese are not so into high dive so it automatically jazzes up your medal table - in a way its a pity Gymnastics aren't having a beach based flying rings competition which has a long Venice Beach tradition.   Don't know how we fix Table tennis, truth be told - it is simply 'their' game, in a way not even diving is - they have tables in railways stations and everything.
    • I don’t do it manually, I use a script that pulls the data from the ISU website, so same amount of work on my end regardless of how many skaters it is. I would like to hide the lower half of the list, I know that’s possible on Wikipedia, but I haven’t figured out how to do it yet.
    • New sport of throwing in Seoul     
    • That looks really good. I would trim it down though to only show a few outside of the qualification window, seems like a lot of work to detail irrelevant skaters, but what ever you want to do is surely appreciated.
    • they did skate in the time trial races on Thursday, though no remarkable results, unfortunately
    • Meanwhile Trump retired the addicional taxes in many Brazilian products, its very funny cuz Bolsonaro supporters now see thar he didnt care about him lol.   Actually in think that brazilian economy is in his best moment since 2013/14.   Just 5% of unemployment, the lowest since 2012 and everything pointing to a deflaction in next months.
    • All women from non-qualified countries who currently have under 400 distance FIS points:     I assume Iceland for example won't be able to get a quota through World Cups: they have one, they just don't have an eligible athlete (yet).   So , , ,  might have a chance of getting a women's quota in the World Cup route, it seems - Thailand will probably need Karen Chanloung to do something.
    • Yes, good catch. Other interesting ones right now are women's  is close, there is a women competing for  who seems to have a chance, and the skiier from  who I incorrectly thought had already made it (but is very close). Also I noticed that Nathan Tchibozo is competing today for  . I don't understand his status, he was denied release from Togo (who he had qualified for the Olympics with) and the release from the FIS said he would have to sit out a year. Then he showed up on the provisional Olympic list, for about 3 days. Now he is competing and it appears that his recent FIS point totals are all blanked out.
    • Thanks! By the looks of it, this isn't really something worth keeping an eye on from a Brazilian women's perspective, unlike four years ago (when they missed out on an extra spot by I believe 1 position) it doesn't look at all realistic for them to get a third spot.
