AIN's will skip (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).

 

Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)

I think (probably) if the FIL lets them enter 3 lugers in a race they must intend that up to 3 can qualify. Be nice if they gave us some rules.

Maybe someone else stole the money: the coach? The president? And they're looking for a scapegoat? But it's strange that such a well-known person is being detained- maybe his political views aren't what they should be?

Where can I see the current Olympic rankings? There's no link on Wikipedia. In my opinion, after the last World Cup, Italy should have had 3 people in the men's single, not the USA – the 3 athlete from the USA wasn't even in the top 20 recently, while here Gufler-Ita,  was 12th.

Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.

3 of 6 russians "AIN" was banned.

Will FIL finally get correct screening of them?

[hckošice 15,799]

The persistant stupidity of our federation to not competing in any single women race will cost us the possibility to field a relay. 

 

This is just mindblowing. Totally beyond me

And there is no provision this time for getting a quota to compete in the relay, so it looks like time may be running out.

I thought Slovakia didn't have any women in single? It's a bit ridiculous that two men's doubles teams will be competing for Svk, but no women. Would your girl have a realistic chance to Q?

China and Poland are missing one men's single, and Slovakia is missing one women's team, who isn't competing at all this season. I was hoping Poland and China would get a wild card to compete on the team relay at the Olympics.

[Kerkun 69]

Sochowicz has clearly underperformed so far this season. I hope he picks up the pace soon and we should join the team relay event.

[copravolley 561]

The Chinese without a wild card may have trouble qualifying and if they don't send a team, the women's doubles team will also be in question
