It seems like a really difficult sport to follow the qualification. Mostly because of the ISMF itself. They are painfully slow to publish results, and have errors all through them when they do. Their rules state that after 5 races you drop the worst result, but their standings don't do it. They say that their qualification period goes to December 21st, but there is no way to find out what the fall calendar will be so you can't know how many more races there will be.

What the sprint standings should actually be, with only people who can qualify: 

Mens: Lietha SUI 352, Drion du Chapois BEL 193, Klette NOR 151, Filippov AIN 138, with Canclini ITA 137, and Hoesch GER, 131 close behind.

 

Womens: Alonso Rodriguez ESP 278, Paller GER 273, Murada ITA 212, Jagercikova SVK 193, with Hiemer AUT 185 and Matejovicova CZE 174 close behind.

the most recent update to the sprint standings has no change in the women's top four, the same four men, but with Filippov ahead of Klette now but Mayer of Austria very close.

Sweden with a great surge after 6th place yesterday. Moved up from 13th to 9th with 203 points, despite the OMRRL standings at the ISMF website saying something else.

I'm also having trouble navigating through the information, it's so painful to follow.

With 1 more (according to  Elantkowski's ig post) mixed relay to go,  has secured the continental quotas, so did  with the 3 of 6 remaining quotas.  seems to be very close to do so.  and  have swapped for now while  stayed between them in the race for the last 2 quotas. For the Americas quotas,  had the edge for a while but the penalty in the latest competition has reduced their advantage over  to just 1 point .

There are 2 sprints left and  has secured the quota in the men's one.

that would also mean that has secured a women's spot in the sprint Alonso cannot score below 453, nobody below 4th can get better than 430.

True, I forgot to drop second worst results before adding the theoretical 200 points for those outside top 4.

Now Drion from  and Filippov  are in for sure with Klette  having a pretty good lead for the last spot.

In the women's Paller  and Murada  are in. The final spot could be interesting but Jagecikova  has a decent lead.
