Great battle between :EST and :LTU for the 22nd place in women's nations cup. Lithuania has taken the 22nd place after today, but only by a whisker!

 

That's essentially a battle for the Olympic quota in mixed relay.

Well, it wouldn't be a battle if our women's team wasn't an utter disappointment. Since we never do well in the relays, I think we'll need a magical sprint at Oslo to take Estonia down. Also, too bad that our men had huge problems with consistency, we really had a chance to qualify with 5 :(

I think that Estonia also overperforms in relays. :d Looking at their line up for tomorrow, Lithuania should really beat them, but...

 

If you think Lithuanian girls are hopeless, then look at what Kadri Lehtla is doing these days. I wonder if she is even a serious athlete these days.

Laura :hearts: gets told by the German reporter that she has actually won the overall World Cup, as she wasn't doing the maths and just focussed on performing well, she didn't know it yet :d

 

After the "whooo!!" there's some more questions like "But is it 100% sure now? Are you certain?" :p

Well, Rasimovičiūtė was always better than Lethla and now they're nearly on the same level. I just hope that mixed relay wouldn't be over for us after the girls start, cause Kaukėnas can bring some time back during 3rd leg.

Well, we started with 40 points of damage done to our women's nation cup battle for 2 quotas and since we theoretically can only beat two teams in the mixed relay, we will need a very good sprint at Oslo for our women.

Still 2 events to finish the Road to Pyeongchang. After the single relay no new quotas (? - i must correct all my calculations) are absigned.

In men's cup Finland climb the ranking and now is is 20th positions, the last useful positions for qualify 5 athletes. 

In women's cup Lithuania is now in 22th positions and Estonia will not compete at OG whit the men's team and they virtually lost the mixed relay.

It's ridiculous that single mixed relay counts for qualification...

Yes, and 420 (840 if we count both ranking) points for the winner are too much... 1st place in sprint race win only 160 points :facepalm:

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
    • I wonder if all Cuba, Iran and Venezuela will be able to travel and compete in LA at all... Hopefully that yes.
