Any reason for that? I've heard German Madrazo's name quite often in the past few years, part of the infamous Project Bogota to qualify for Pyeongchang, did he grow his participation into some attention for the sport?  

Well, he received a lot of publicity after he competed at Pyeongchang, and some people started training, aiming to compete at the Olympics. Between late 2018 - early2020, between 3-5 skiers, a woman included, managed to attend cross country competitions in USA, Canada and even Finland, and this year finally one of them finished with less than 300 points in one of them.

According to Chef of Mission, they will support cross country skiers all through the qualification period (as well as the alpine skiers and our skaters), so they can obtain a quota.

I know Mexico is far from expecting a medal at the Winter Games in the next 20 years at least, but I think establishing a small group of athletes capable of fighting for a spot is worth it.

As arguably the world's leading non-Brazilian follower of Brazilian women's cross-country, I could not agree more with this

Here's my simulation of the number of athletes for each country. Note I did not take into account injuries (or people missing out due to COVID) and potential athletes that will reactivate themselves during the 2021-2022 season (since I have no information on them). In total 91 nations will participate. Let's see how far off I am in 2022.

I mostly looked at recent results and compared it to the sport's qualification system. I didn't keep tabs on specific people since for some sports it's done through nation rankings (and the project was ambitious enough already). I also assumed every nation will accept all their quotas (which likely won't happen).

 

For Poland the sport breakdown is...

 

Alpine Skiing - 3

Biathlon - 8

Cross-country Skiing - 7

Figure Skating - 2

Luge - 4

Nordic Combined - 4

Short Track Speed Skating - 4

Ski Jumping - 7

Snowboarding - 3

Speed Skating - 9

No chance. I will be happy if just 1 athlete will qualify, most of our guys retired two seasons ago.

In the qualification document, they wanted 10 nations to participate in the team event (they reserved quotas to ensure that) so Poland benefited from that. It's either them or Estonia, the depth in Nordic Combined is very shallow.
