@Topicmaster1010 for the Savard Fergusson’s to make it in snowboard cross, where would they have to finish approximately?

 

Also, I assume Gill is the first alt in snowboard halfpipe still?

Hard to say since points are weighted differently for different placements. It all depends on where they end up relative to the athletes in front of them and you also have to keep an eye on the athletes behind. I see that Valerio Jud is only one point ahead of James for the last quota so as long as he finishes ahead of him, he'll move ahead of him in the standings. Rose is 18 points behind the last qualifier she would have to likely to need to have a minimum top 16 finish at the first race to have any chance.

He finished 8 spots behind, so he'll need to make up a lot spots on day two of qualifications.

Elena Gaskell officially finishes 5th in Laax and moves all the way from tier 6 to tier 3 on the qualification matrix and 14th overall. That should solidify her Olympic spot.

What about Podulsky/Allan in women's doubles luge and our third sled in two-woman bobsleigh?

 

Savard Fergusson is first alternate?

Disaster strikes for Blatty

 

A crash, and suddenly the odds are looking really good for Ribi.

I believe Podulsky/Allan need to go to the Cortina track and complete the run in under a certain time. It shouldn't be a problem for them.

Canada does get a third two-woman sled (but not a third monobob sled)

 

Ribi did yell “going to the Olympics!” after her run, so she sure thinks she’s going.
