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).

And where is gender equality? IOC should ban FIS quickly by their disrespect to womens.

So only the top 2 did qualify from the W race ?

 

Sorry, talking about something else, or qualification for distance races in these Championships? Official site says top 10 qualified for the later...

Interesting. Maybe FIS showed some mercy after all and repeached the remaining top 10 W

I don't think so. It is probably just the editor not knowing how it works (or caring, to be honest).

This, probably. Look at Wikipedia for two years ago, it also shows a Q for the whole top-10, it's just some basic template :p

 

Although there have been rumours about FIS making an exception due to there only being two (!) qualifiers, but I doubt it.

Well, to be fair, the number of quotas for women is still the same as for men; just less NOC's will have female representation.

Number of NOCs is just as important imo. Macedonia for example always has a female skier, and now suddenly they will not.

 

They literally can't have an athlete even if one of them started winning World Cups next season, just to reiterate how bizarre the qualification system is.

I thought the sprint counted as well :yikes:

Well, chances there for some new nation to join are next to none. Interval starts are easier by default, while the sprints will have an added difficulty of classic technique.
