AIN athletes qualification for Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games and possible reallocation of quotas

[avlar 457]

I did not think it would happen again but...

I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments 
I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations.
According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/ 
And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry.

Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually ))

Some notes:
1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling.

2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c.

3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now.

4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons. 
 

 

 

Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:

 

1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final.

2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation.

3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not
