What’s the reasoning behind this?

I found that Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton has its own internal selection criteria.

 

My guess would that be there wasn't a 2nd male athlete that met the requirements.

If Canada decline a second male does that mean a place opens up for another mixed team? If Canada 2nd team are also out?

Don't think so. There's no fixed amount of mixed relay quotas, it's only for teams that have a minimum of 1 male + 1 female athlete.

Working on a little something, should be up a few days before the Olympics start 

 

It's a Canadian Olympic medal preview, and my very own predictions (I'll try not to be too pessimistic as per usual, but it'll be tough )

I'll try to have it up Monday night-early Tuesdsay morning, there's still a few sports (a few events in freestyle skiing, updated  results for Alexander in alpine skiing, he's competing in the Crans Montana DH tomorrow, half of snowboarding, and speed skating) I need to finish up. 

 

It's taken me many, many hours (and the writing will take another few, mainly for freestyle skiing/snowboarding where I had the idiotic idea to take averages from various events, WC/WChs and X Games and see what scores it might take to podium) and I'm already starting to somewhat regret it, but I'm not one to give up, and if I've already done this much then what's the point?

It’s Very much appreciated.
