Interesting to note that after all the information about  not using flags or names, that is exactly what the FIS have done in their qualification table. It makes it understandable, but kind of strange still.

FIS has already published what happens here: https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/v2/quota/list/owg/cc/2026 They basically continued giving quotas from where they stopped back in March. So in Men's it was  then  then  , in women's it was  ,  

If only they'd continue after China instead of going all the way back to the top (of those with under 8 quota) again.

An interesting detail. Russians still use fluorine in domestic races. Therefore, they do not have normal experience in using modern ski waxes and do not have experience in preparing skis for fast Alpine snow too.

 

In this situation, the  Italian team helps them prepare their skis. Marcus Kramer, who has experience working in Russia and now works with Italy, used his current position to help the Russians prepare their skis.

@copravolley Is Italian ski federation ok with this? And if they will get Italian wax-service at the Olympics?

Am I correct this allocation is not final and    have time till the 19th of Janiary to get proper FIS-points?

First Swedish Olympia selection today including these cross country skiiers:

 

Frida Karlsson

Jonna Sundling

Ebba Andersson

William Poromaa

Edvin Anger

These skiiers also selected to the olympics:
Maja Dahlqvist

Moa Ilar

Linn Svahn

Johanna Hagström

Emma Ribom

Alvar Myhlback

Anton Grahn

 

But one of Svahn, Hagström and Ribom will probably just be there watching as we can only pick two sprinters apart from Sundling and Dahlqvist who should be safe. And Karlsson, Andersson, Ilar and Sundling will probably go all distance races.
