Connor Howe was second in the mass start fwiw.

[Josh 11,622]

I’m predicting 211 athletes in 14 sports, for 104 men and 107 women, a decrease of 4 athletes from Beijing 2022. 

 

Alpine Skiing (12 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 12 (6 men + 6 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 13 (5 men + 8 women)

 

Decrease of 1 athlete from 2022.

 

For the men, Cameron Alexander and Jack Crawford will for sure qualify barring injury. Jeffery Read, Brodie Seger, Broderick Thompson as well. Riley Seger probably will get the sixth quota. For the women, Valerie Grenier, Alli Nullmeyer, Laurence St Germain, Britt Richardson,  Cassidy Gray, and Raphael Lessard. 

 

Biathlon (8 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 8 (4 men + 4 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 8 (4 men + 4 women)

 

We qualified 4 in each gender through the Nations Cup Rankings. Men just barely made it. 
 

Women’s team will probably be Peiffer, Rousseau, Paradis, Moser. Men’s team is less certain, but I’m guessing Connelly, Runnals, Pletz, Borglum (we only have three competing at the first WC…)

 

Bobsleigh (13 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 13 (8 men + 5 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 18 (12 men + 6 women)

 

Our men’s team is on a major fall with the retirement of Kripps, so only Pat Norton and Taylor Austin in four-men

 

On the women’s side, I have Appiah/Lotholz representing us in monobob, very tough to tell though. Completely unsure as who the two-women teams but if we’re basing it off the evaluation selection races (because I don’t know nearly enough about bobsleigh) I think it’ll be Ribi/Richardson Wilson, Appiah/Mitchell, this’ll be very disappointing if we only qualify 5 women. 
 

Cross-Country Skiing (10 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 10 (5 men + 5 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 9 (4 men + 5 women)

 

Antoine Cyr, Tom Stephen, Maximillian Hollmann, Remi Drolet, Xavier McKeever made the team for the men. 

Katherine Stewart-Jones, Sonjaa Schmidt, Amelia Wells, Alison Mackie, Liliane Gagnon made the team for the women. 
 

There’s a good chance at a seventh women’s quota which would have Olivia Bouffard-Nesbit qualifying as well. 

 

Curling (12 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 11 (5 men + 6 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 12 (6 men + 6 women)

 

Peterman/Gallant, Team Homan, and Team Jacobs have already qualified. 

 

Figure Skating (12 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 12 (6 men + 6 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 13 (7 men + 6 women)

 

Already secured one men’s quota, one women’s quota, two pairs quotas, and three ice dance quotas, which is our final team through the results of World Championships. 
 

Probablt Madeline Schizas for the women’s spot. For the men’s spot, Stephen Gogolev is the front-runner with Roman Sadovsky right behind him. Pairs is locked in with Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps and Pereira/Michaud and so is ice dance with Gilles/Poirier, Lajoie/Lagha and Fabbri/Ayer. 

 

 

Freestyle Skiing (32 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 32 (16 men + 16 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 32 (16 men + 16 women)

 

Almost surely going to qualify 32, but almost impossible to predict who will qualify in terms of athletes on the bubble because we would be qualifying much much more if there wasn’t a cap. 

 

Men:

Aerials (3): Alexandre Duchaine, Lewis Irving, Miha Fontaine 

Moguls (3): Mikael Kingsbury, Julien Viel, Elliot Vaillancourt 

Ski Cross (4): Reece Howden, Kevin Drury, Jared Schmidt, Kristofer Mahler

Halfpipe (3): Brendan MacKay, Andrew Longino, Dylan Marineau

Slopestyle/Big Air (3): Evan McEachran, Dylan Deschamps, Max Moffatt

 

Women:

Aerials (2): Marion Thenault, Charlie Fontaine

Moguls (2): Maia Schwinghammer, Laurianne Desmarais-Gilbert, Ashley Koehler, Jessica Linton

Ski Cross (4): Abby McEwen, Marielle Thompson, Hannah Schmidt, Brittany Phelan

Halfpipe (4): Cassie Sharpe, Rachael Karker, Amy Fraser, Dillan Glennie

Slopestyle/Big Air (4): Megan Oldham, Olivia Asselin, Elena Gaskell, Naomi Urness

 

Rowell, Katrusiak, Beatty, Porter MacLennan, Therriault, Primeau, David-Chalifoux, other Marineau, Koehler, Linton all miss out. 

 

Ice Hockey (48 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 48 (25 men + 23 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 48 (25 men + 23 women)

 

Yeah I’m sticking with no roster predictions for either of them with the women, men are already named. 

 

Luge (7 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 7 (3 men + 4 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 6 (3 men + 3 women)

 

Caitlin Nash and Embyr-Lee Susko in women’s singles (Trinity Ellis misses out), Theo Downey in men’s singles, Wardrope/Zajanski in men’s doubles, and Podulsky/Allan in women’s doubles. 

 

Nordic Combined (0 athletes)

 

 We are a complete joke at this sport and won’t be qualifying anyone in the next 10000000 years or so 

 

Short Track (10 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 10 (5 men + 5 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 10 (5 men + 5 women)

 

Projected # of events in 2026: 9

# of events in 2022: 9

 

Already named.
 

Florence Brunelle, Kim Boutin, Courtney Sarault, Danae Blais and Rikki Doak for the women. 

For the men, William Dandjinou, Felix Roussel, JPG, Steven Dubois, Maxime Laoun. 
 

Skeleton (4 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 4 (2 men + 2 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 3 (1 men + 2 women)

 

A few weeks ago I would’ve said only Halle Clarke and Jane Chanell, but Ryan Kuehn, Josip Brusic, and Zander Greco have been doing good on the NOR-AM circuit and could possibly get us two quotas?

 

Ski Jumping (4 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 4 (1 men + 3 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 3 (1 men + 2 women)

 

With Loutitt being injured, think Abigail Strate, Nicole Maurer, Natalie Eilers, and Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes will qualify. 
 

Ski Mountaineering (0 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 0 (0 men + 0 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 0

 

What an embarrassment at the final qualifier 

 

 

Snowboarding (22 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 21 (10 men + 12 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 23 (11 men + 12 women)

 

Men:

Parallel Giant Slalom (2): Arnaud Gaudet, Ben Heldman

Snowboard Cross (3): Eliot Grondin, Evan Bichon, Liam Moffatt

Slopestyle/Big Air (4): Cameron Spalding, Francis Jobin, Mark McMorris, Eli Bouchard

Halfpipe (1): Liam Gill

 

Women:

Parallel Giant Slalom (3): Aurelie Moisan, Kaylie Buck, Megan Farrell

Snowboard Cross (3): Meryeta Odine, Audrey McManiman, Tess Critchlow

Halfpipe (3): Elizbeth Hosking, Felicity Geremia, Brooke Dhondt

Slopestyle/Big Air (3): Laurie Blouin, Jasmine Baird, Juliette Pelchat

 

No either of the Savard-Fergusson’s, Emeraude Maheux, Nicolas Laframboise or Ryan Vo.

 

Speed Skating (15 athletes)

Projected Athletes in 2026: 14 (7 men + 8 women)

# of athletes in 2022: 16 (8 men + 8 women)

 

Men:

500m (3): Laurent Dubreuil, Anders Johnson, Cedric Brunet

1000m (2): Laurent Dubreuil, Anders Johnson

1500m (2): David la Rue, Daniel Hall

5000m (1): Ted-Jan Bloemen

10000m (1): Ted-Jan Bloemen

Mass Start (2): Daniel Hall, Antoine Gelinas-Beaulieu (no Jake Weidemann)

 

Women:

500m (3): Carolina Hiller, Beatrice Lamarche, Brooklyn McDougall

1000m (2): Beatrice Lamarche, Rose Laliberte-Roy

1500m (2): Ivanie Blondin, Beatrice Lamarche, Valerie Maltais

3000m (3): Isabelle Weidemann, Ivanie Blondin, Valerie Maltais

5000m (2): Isabelle Weidemann, Laura Hall (No idea why Blondin missed this)

Mass Start (2): Ivanie Blondin, Valerie Maltais

Beautifully done !

[intoronto 6,559]

@JoshCurling is 11, but you have 12 in your list. Cross-country is 11 but you have 10.  The Canadian men are first reserve in snowboard cross, so we might get a 4th quota in that event.

[intoronto 6,559]

Liam Gill finished 21st in qualifying at the snowboarding halfpipe WC in Aspen.

 

The five people ahead of him in the allocation list:
 

Teixeira - 24th

Ren China - 22nd

Podlatchikov Switzerland - DNC

----

Stante Slovenia 33nd

Kim Korea 30th

 

 

So Gill beat all of them, and hopefully move himself closer to a quota. Canada currently has no one in qualification position in the men's halfpipe.

Also had 4 ski jumpers in 2022, not three. Forgetting the great Olympic mixed team medalist Matthew Soukop, tsk tsk

Great work! A few things:

 

Bobsleigh: I would imagine Lotholz and Appiah would be both events if we only end up with two sleds

 

Freestyle Skiing: Based on the selection criteria, Irving, Fontaine, Nadeau and Duchaine are all comfortably qualified in aerial's. Max Moffatt is currently on the outside looking in. Elliott Vaillancourt is the athlete currently on the 16th qualification position.

 

Luge: No men are entered in the final world cup so the men's singles dream is over.

Yeah you're probably right, but either way that's who I would select if I was choosing. Which I'm not, but besides the point 

 

Irving has more potential to finish higher than Nadeau IMO, and Moffatt/Nadeau is a tossup.
