That's interesting. There was an article written (and even the FIS website) showing he retired.


I'd assume the Bermuda Olympic Association asked him back as there really isn't any other athete close to competing for them atp.

:KOS has officially qualified.

 

73 nations are qualified right now.

 

The following should qualify (all have athletes meeting part of the standard/good enough to qualify):

 

:MAS

:IND

:TLS

:PHI

:HKG

:THA

:MGL

:PRK

:DMA

:MLT

:MDA

:VEN

:ARM 

:ERI 

:TPE 

 

That leaves us with 88 nations that should qualify (hopefully all of them choose to compete).


The following have athletes just outside qualification and may qualify:

 

:MAD

:BAR

:JAM

:NEP

:PAR

:TTO

:ISV

 

So a record 95! might be competing in 2018.

 

Unlikely to qualify atp:

:NGR

:SRI

:VIE

:TJK

:UGA

:CRC

:ALG

:ECU

:SGP

:TGA

:AFG

:GHA

Australia used it in 2010 in the women;s bob, after the FIBT refused to give them a quota. So Ireland got bumped, but they got reinstated due to the FIBT's error.

2 North Korean cross country skiers have just both scored under 300 points in a race in Russia, Han Chun Gyong (251 points) and Pak Il-Chol (295). Their women both got around 350 points. So it definitely looks like we will see North Korean cross country skiers in South Korea for the Olympics!

ISU qualifying standards in speed skating should be absolutely no problem at all for Pedro Causil of Colombia, so that's very good news :)

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
