Maybe you know how situation looks for skiers from , snowboarder from  and all athletes competing in Project Bogota?

 

Skiers from Project Bogota are yet to enter their next competitions.

 

Don't know about (I guess all of them are unlikely qualifiers), however female skier had some good results this weekend. She just needs to complete a few more races.

In how many races yet they need compete with enough good results?

 

I asked about snowboarder from  as I noticed that he had decent results lately.

 

Since skaters from  not registered to the system, there is any chance that other their athlete might qualify?

The Algerian snowboarder thought he’d get an African continental quota... I explained to him he wouldn’t. He seems quite far off, I think he’d qualify in Big Air alone but needs better Slopestyle results.

 has two skiers in cross country, one scored 2000+ points. The other competed in two races in Canada (one sprint and one interval start) and finished last in both

Some good news: will compete! The Puerto Rico Olympic Committee has given the winter sports federation a 6 month approval of membership, which will allow Charles Flaherty to compete in alpine skiing.

I think they will. In 2014 they did not allow their skier to compete because he had 141 FIS points (the FIS still gave him a quota though).

.

He had 140.8 FIS points but the FIS allow skiers to round down the points to the nearest full number so he qualified on 140 points.

But the SA Olympic committee did not read the rules carefully enough

A Tajik skier scored 168 FIS points and so maybe they will be a late qualifier.
