Arianna Fontana is preparing for the another season in a row alone with her husband in Canada and the USA, apart from the rest of the Italian team. I only hope she will still want to compete in the mixed relay in next season World Cup and at the Olympics (she competed in the women's relay last season, but not in the mixed relay) and I think that she can do a some training with the rest of the team during the season. With Fontana in the mixed relay our chances of even winning gold will increase significantly.

I did not realize Fontana competed (and medaled) in 2006 when she was only 15. Milano will be her 6th Olympics. Amazing.

Yes, but only in women`s relay in 2006. I have the impression that 20 years ago short track was more of a sport for youth people, than it is now, and you could say that Fontana is a connector between those times and now.

In the entry lists for the first World Tour event there are five russians; three female and two male. I don't know how the rules are, so is it only going to be one per race? 

And then for Olympic Qualifying, how will they accumulate ranking points? Athletes don't NOCs do normally, so I am puzzled how that is going to work.

They could enter only individual races, maybe.. And instead of quota given to NOCs, individual quotas are given to each AIN competitors. 

For me these are some anonymous names from Russia, does anyone know them?

Seregina came 6th in the 500m in 2022 I think, right behind Boutin in the semi. Otherwise no idea.

Russians are allowed to qualify only one person for distance, no relays are allowed.

 

They will not fiaght to get maximum number of quotas since they could not find enough skaters which did not violate neutrality rules.

According to this: https://isudam.blob.core.windows.net/isudamcontainer/AIN_Q&A_Final_20_12_2024_1734686416256.pdf they can only qualify one male and one female total. So they can only enter one in each race in the World Tour it would follow.

So for Olympic Qualification, how would they add the score do you think?

Qualification is based on the individual world tour ranking per distance, so they wouldn’t.

    • Well done Senegal  you defeated cheaters   this is the 3rd final and the last african cup   for Sadio Manè , one of the best african player  
    • Morocco bought referees since the beginning not only in their matchs but all the matches of rivals in their roads 
    • but this just killed me    Oh Africa I love you     
    • Man, that was the poorest Panenka attempt I saw in my life     
    • Pathetic scenes in the final. The referee tried to give it to Morocco but the late penalty was somehow even worse from Diaz 
    • aaaaaaand Canada did it , done of USA and their  taxes of shhhhht , Canada is replacing USA by China     
    • According to our Ski federation we received a galore of quotas today.   9 exactly    4 in Alpine Skiing, 3 in Cross-Country Skiing and believe it or not 2 in Ski Jumping, in which it will be a huge return to the Olympics for Slovak Ski Jumping after Vancouver 2010 and first ever appearance in Women Ski Jumping for the country.   The quotas will be used by our Ski Jumping teenage siblings Hektor Kapustík in the Mens Individual events and his younger sister Kira Mária Kapustíková in the Womens competition.   For both it will be obviously an Olympic debut, Kira will be I do believe our youngest athlete at the Games.     In Alpine Skiing, Petra Vlhová is nominated for the Slalom and with possibility to start also in the Team Alpine Combined. The Slalom reigning Olympic champion will start at her 3rd Olympics in a row. Rebeka Jančová in her second games after Beijing and Katarína Šrobová at her very first Olympics. Our sole male alpine skier in Italy will be Andreas Žampa who will attend his 4th consecutive Olympics.   In Cross-Country Skiing all our 3 athletes will debut at the Olympics. The Slovak-American Alaska born Peter Hinds, Tomáš Cenek and sole female in the team Mária Danielová. Their events are in the spoiler bellow.     Barring any injury this should be the final Slovakia Team for the Games (Last question is who will take the Short-Track quota - which will be answered by tomorrow). Obviously there still chance(s) for eventual reallocations, as we are on the waiting positions in W Ski jumping or W Ski Cross for example.     Team (Updated as of 18th January 2026) 52 Athletes (36 M + 16 W)    
    • Apparently we have quota also for the Women competition, at least according our federation    Really do not know what to think about it, but they surely know more than me.. so great then I guess    Both Kapustík siblings will be at the Olympics by the looks of it.   Still a little skeptical until I see it officially on the FIS website tomorrow though
