Mexico also has this skier who looks pretty safe.

Oh I didn't knew about him, but yes he has a good chance to qualify.

Maybe some of you already known about this but the 2017 Southeast Asian Games in August 2017 will also feature 3 winter sports.

 

A good event to monitor some athletes

 

And a bit of correction, Indonesia is sending short track speed skaters instead of speed skaters (the media was unable to differentiate short-track with normal speed skating)

But they already competed in Sochi, so they wouldn't count as "debuting" or "returning"

The Ghanian skeleton rider was a few seconds back of his closest competitor in his first race, so it seems highly unlikely he qualifies (unless there is a drastic improvement).

Vietnam in alpine skiing (they will also compete in snowboarding and figure skating at the 2017 AWG, but unlikely to qualify for 2018)

This week he already improved a little bit compared to his first races earlier in the month, but yeah...not very likely

 

Doesn't matter though, since the very first beginning he has clearly said 2022 is his goal
