@dcro How many points he need to qualify?

[intoronto 5,635]

He got 800 points in the sprint race. He needs to drop that by a further 500 points and has to do that 5 times. It doesn't look good

Some sad news  will not compete. Both athletes retired...

Madagascar has a new athlete... 16 year old Mialitiana Clerc. She was only 3 seconds behind the winner in her first race so it's safe to assume that she was well within 140 FIS points (FIS points yet to be published). Although, saying that now I see it's only 55 seconds race, but I imagine it still should be enough.

Its updated with FIS Points: 107.29

She should be safe to qualify!

Her bg is a cool story: http://www.midi-madagasikara.mg/sports/2017/06/02/jeux-olympiques-de-coree-la-belle-histoire-de-mialitiana-clerc-20e-francaise-en-ski/

She was actually born in Madagascar and was adopted at a young age to live in France.

Interestingly, the other Malagasy skier got really close to 140 points in today's races. Sadly for him, this is the last day of racing in South Africa, but it looks more promising now.
