Courtney Hoffos just had surgery for her tibial plateau, mcl and meniscus so she said focusing on plan B although time is limited before the Olympics with that kind of surgery. She said she already locked in her Olympic quota after the first race, so she said she just should have taken it easy in races leading up to the Olympics but it’s not in her nature.

Actually she's out for the remainder of the season, unfortunately

Reading over the Speed skating criteria, only Bloeman, Maltais, Blondin and I. Weidemann have qualified for the Olympics. The rest of the quotas will be decided at the Canadian trials in early January in Quebec City.

Connor Howe competed yesterday in Calgary, with a time of 1.50,61 in the 1,500, 5 seconds slower than at the SLC World Cup.

 

:cry:

 

Not sure if this was just a test race or not.

Canadian Olympic Speed Skating Trials begin tomorrow in Quebec City.

 

You can find the list of participants, schedule, results and more at this link here.

 

It will also be streamed on the CBC website and youtube.

 

The most important thing however, is the Olympic Matrix. As there are only a maximum of 8 women's and 7 men's quotas, Speed Skating Canada has compiled a matrix to rank all the event finishers by importance. The places higher up in the matrix are given more priority. Several of the spots on the matrix have already been filled out based on the World Cup Results. The rest of the spots will be filled out this weekend.

I imagine whomever is typically the alternate for the women’s team pursuit is probably a shoo in, just incase

 

Those 1,000’s and 1,500’s are gonna be high stakes. Too bad about Howe

I know their training methods are kinda rocking the world in a number of summer endurance sports.  I can't really speak to they dynamics of their development program. Their men's nordic programs largely always seem to be ridiculously deep, overwhelmingly so the last decade or so.

    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
