Today as well with Sundling. Frida Karlsson however 10th place is worrying, but first time on snow this season I understood.

 

the polish skiier impressed btw yesterday with 9th place who I understood just game back to skiing after A few years break

Plus 21st place, not even 2,5 minutes behind, by 15 or 16 year old (depends on who you ask) Thelma Falk in her very first weekend of official FIS competitions, wow.

 

DNS for our Totallympian due to leg and ankle issues, unfortunately.

15 years and just as far behind Karlsson as Karlsson was behind Andersson. That is huge! :yikes:

She came back at the end of the last season. During the break, she gave birth to 2 kids and it looks like she got her fainting under the control.

Quote

The remaining 10 quota places by gender will be assigned to NOCs that were not able to achieve a quota, granted all athletes have scored less than 300.00 FIS points at one FIS World Cup competition in the first World Cup period (28 November – 14 December 2025).

What if those 10 quota aren't all filled up, will they be added to the reallocation pool?

Ecuador and Venezuela have qualified one male athlete each. Both with their first quotas

Ecuador's Klaus Jungbluth did so by 5 seconds, nice :d 

 

The athletes from Peru and Israel came up less than 20 seconds shy of qualifying, for now at least. It should be somewhat promising for the later races.

Do you think the FIS will show them as qualified on their lists? Or will they wait until December 14th in case their is more than 10 NOCs who make the standard in this window for qualification?

A very odd thing showed up on the FIS provisional list today; for some reason they have just added 1 quota to :NED without any of their athletes competing in a world cup event or last year's world championships. Jon Visser appears to be good enough, but I don't understand this addition to the quota list.

No idea actually :d 

 

There's absolutely no way 10 NOC's are making it in the women's events, not sure about the men, but I would assume every NOC with a somewhat realistic shot would have already appeared in Ruka.

That is odd indeed. It's already gone, it seems?

There's no way he is making the Olympics, unfortunately. He would need to score top-8's in the World Cup and that seems like somewhat of a stretch I'm afraid :p

    • 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. In 2024, Ukraine only won 1 silver medal at the Paris Olympics? So even domination in Europe doesn't guarantee even 1 gold medal at the Olympics. Although, of course, if Italy for example, can't even win 1 bronze medal at the European Championships, then there's no point in even going to the World Championships...
    • 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.
