refused the quota. As his quota was from CoC, the reallocation would go to the highest from CoC??

[Kerkun 80]

His quota was from CoC only because there were not enough athletes with points in WC. But there are no separate reserve lists, so his quota goes to .

Wow, Switzerland  is taking both quota places in Nordic combined. That really surprises me

I'm mostly surprised even had a quota, who knew. Don't get me wrong, I'd have found it super cool to see him at the Olympics, but I think it's four years too early. Well, or more, since actually demanded at least one top-8 in the World Cup.

It's surely easier if your father is a gold medalist from Calgary and has two more medals (silver, bronze) from team competitions (Calgary, Lillehammer). But aside that, Finn Kempf did fairly well in Continental Cup/Alpen Cup this winter and will be a nice addition to the team sprint for Pascal Mueller. Moreover, I'm happy Switzerland is getting easier on their national criteria.

Yeah it also good for nordic combined to have some more nations at the start of the team sprint.

Assuming there is a next time for him.
