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:

    • keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.
    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
