Manex 11th by one tenth of a second, fuck!

3rd and 5th! That's pretty damn good. Close to perfect by Joachim. Jacob 12 seconds away from top 10. That's pretty decent as well!

Looks like a lot of nations will earn a basic quota for men, but not for women. Briliant. As if the universality massacre was not enough, it will also lead to pronounced gender inequality.

Help me out on the Olympic qualification a bit: Brazil has one woman who got a basic quota today, so they have one quota place. Is only the one athlete who got under 300 points today eligible for that, or is it up to the Brazilian federation to give this quota to any of the Brazilian women who have a total of under 300 FIS points on the regular FIS points list?

 

In other words, is there still a pathway (even if theoretical) for @brunamoura?

"Mark, you were one of the first racers to go out there and fight the snow today."

 

Right.

Excellent, at least there's still a chance and something to fight for in the next 10-11 months or so. Staying under 300 in the FIS list won't be an issue.

Yap, a whole shitload of nations managed to qualify a man, but not a woman. And that is partly because men's qualification race gives lower points by default (due to different cut-off points).

Italian Raisport showed the Qualification races live

 Soto did it. Now he only need another under 300 result to make it.

 

Too bad for Martinez in the women’s side, but she’ñl have another opportunity tomorrow
