Hey, see how the the Dutch guy laid back and let Stolz go when they were about to converge on that exchange? Yeah, that's what's supposed to happen, Japanese dude.

Added summary of current qualification standings here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_skating_at_the_2026_Winter_Olympics_–_Qualification

 

Will keep the Wikipedia page updated as best I can. If I'm feeling really ambitious I'll update my script to output in a Totallympics format too, sadly the speed skating qualification system is somewhat complicated so I'm not gonna do this by hand xD

 

If anyone finds any issues with the list please let me know, I haven't thoroughly tested my script with the new qualification system.

 

Fun fact: as it stands  is already not at the maximum quota on the men's side (since Marcel Bosker is only a time qualifier in the men's 5000m)

In the women's side they're not even trying, the main Dutch team only just arrived in Salt Lake (and at first didn't even want to go at all) and massively underperformed yesterday in the 3k  

 

Halfway through November and we've already had our first mess of the season.

Well the Dutch women are on track to do what they need to send a full team so far - as it stands they have a full contingent of points qualifiers in the 1000m, 3000m and 5000m

That looks really good. I would trim it down though to only show a few outside of the qualification window, seems like a lot of work to detail irrelevant skaters, but what ever you want to do is surely appreciated.

I don’t do it manually, I use a script that pulls the data from the ISU website, so same amount of work on my end regardless of how many skaters it is. I would like to hide the lower half of the list, I know that’s possible on Wikipedia, but I haven’t figured out how to do it yet.

Oh very cool.  Try <!-- (content) -->, they use it for instructions for tables on soccer events, maybe it can work in a table like you have done. The end should be '- - > ' but when I put it together it makes an arrow on here for some reason

Take a look at what someone did here for Tennis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_at_the_2024_Summer_Olympics_–_Qualification. Seems like it should work for you.

Beatrice Lamarche with a 37.30, could we finally actually see someone taking down that 37.22  record after almost 25 years?
