Canada's 2026 Olympics Qualification Discussion

[Topicmaster1010 6,574]

Not surprisingly, Canada has already received one reallocated female quota in alpine skiing. Hopefully we can get another.

 has now accepted all initial quotas in every discipline except Freestyle Skiing (where, because of very stupid qualification rules, need to turn down seven :< )

With  turning down their women's quota in cross country skiing it looks like  will get a seventh women's quota in cross country.

Looks like there will be very few re-allocations this year. I would not be surprised if the two re-allocated quotas  got already is it. I'm not even all that optimistic about men's snowboard halfpipe (where Canada is first on the list).

I’m pretty sure with Germany declining two quotas, we qualify another woman in alpine skiing, only Germany and Andorra are ahead of us.

Very good chance at another quota in women’s cross country skiing as well

 

Probably will go to Weaver, if she can finally qualify I’d be really happy for her

Yes this would be great ! Is Graham Ritchies chances alive still ?
