Women:

  • As mentioned above, :AND Andorra and :CHN China will fight for the 20th spot in the rankings. On the FIS website it says they're separated by 146 points but in my calculated rankings, they are separated by just 51 points and I just double checked my work so not sure what's going on there

Same thing that happened during Trondheim (and probably before, but I hadn't noticed it yet). Start lists for today are out and are, as per usual, on the page that will later show the result:

https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=CC&raceid=46840

 

But instead of only counting them when the start list turns into an actual result, they already count the start list, so to say :d So, an athlete with bib 1 gets points for the win (temporarily), bib 2 gets points for second place, and so on. That will of course automatically be resolved once we have an actual result later today, but it makes for confusing stuff.

.

The quota simulation still needs some work, no country is listed as having 8 men for example, not even Norway :d 

 

https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/v2/quota/list/owg/cc/2026

.

:USA USA passed :ITA Italy for 5th in the men's nations rankings giving them an extra Olympic quota. 

 

and thanks to having enough athletes to be able to compete in the team sprint, :CHN China is back ahead of :AND Andorra in the women's rankings for 20th place by 7 points and since none no athletes from either country are competing tomorrow, that's how it'll finish.

I think that once the remaining 10 quotas are added in (I can see one or two getting used but that is even a stretch), Norway, Sweden, France, Finland, and USA would all get their 8th male quota. Kind of bizarre that the simulation only says that Finland and USA have the remaining room for them though.

Can Italy still overtake the USA tomorrow?

The gap between the two countries is around 46 points. If the Italian skiers have the better day tomorrow overall, then Italy should be able to take back 5th place

Pellegrino skipped the team sprint today to fight tomorrow for 3rd place in the general classification with Valnes. I hope that the Italian team is also monitoring the situation in the Nations Cup and this was also planned in this scenario.

Edited by copravolley

China will end the women's ranking 7 points ahead of Andorra in 20th, meaning there is one fewer spot 'on the market' for other countries (although to be fair, if Andorra had gotten it, the extra reallocated spot would most likely be accepted by China anyway :p).

.

:POL Poland overtook :UKR Ukraine for the 16th place in the women's standings yesterday. Nobody from these countries starts today so it's Poland that is the last country with 4 quota places confirmed.

    • Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that
    • If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?
    • Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?   In fact, Ukraine dominates Europe as much as Japan does the world- they have the best school in women's wrestling.
    • Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková
    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.  
    • Also, I just logged back into my account, where it sent me to update my profile, and when I saved that, I got a screen that included a check mark next to 'Registered for the Draw'.  Not sure I totally trust it, but it does at least say so.  (There's nothing specifically referencing Drop 2 or anything...might just be a stock screen.). I'm curious what it would look like if you looked at it @esube.  https://tickets.la28.org/
