Cross-Country Skiing Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026


Recommended Posts

It's more about China/Andorra swap inside/outside top 20. China now gets 2 quota places instead 1 before Brazil gets their first one.

Nina Riedener might no longer be Liechtenstein's top female athlete :yikes: 

 

15-year old Annina Uehli beat her at the Swiss championships over the weekend, with a result that would suggest she'd have been able to qualify Liechtenstein for the Olympics as well in Trondheim (as Riedener of course ended up doing).

Also interesting, during the mixed relay at the FESA Games in Planica a few weeks ago, she was actually (significantly) faster than both guys in her team.

Anyone knows how the Poland/Ukraine switch means Brazil dropped a spot in the reallocation ranking and now is 23rd instead of 22nd there? I know, 23 or 22 spots being reallocted doesn't really matter realistically, because both are just not gonna happen, but still.

"Good" news for you, FIS updated the reallocation queue. It is now simply the Round 4 of the "remaining quota places" as it is stated in the qualification rules, not the continuation where it stopped previously. Brazil moved up in the queue up to 19th spot for women.

Hopefully 2031 goes to Planica, that was awesome. Oberstdorf was organized quite good as well, anything better than Trondheim really, but Planica would just be extra fun :cheer: 

 

Good to see Drammen and USA on the calendar as well!

I wonder what "Premium Global Destination Partner" will mean exactly, it sounds like one of those super empty titles they give to some 'partnership'. Will they replace Stora Enso, for example?

Yea with their logo all over the place. Because when I think skiing Azerbaijan is the first place that comes to mind.

Yeah no, not really of course :lol: 

 

Just, there are so many titles nowadays for 'premium partner' for this and 'premium partner' for that, and whatnot, so I wonder if this means Stora Enso is gone from the FIS Nordic world championships (kind of a shame, this year they gave some cute little trees to all medal winners and some spectators), or if this is something that comes next to it at world championships.

    • 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/
