Cross-Country Skiing at the Nordic Skiing FIS World Championships 2021


Recommended Posts

I believe athletes don’t need the World Championship criteria in order to earn a reallocation, or further allocation down the line, so perhaps some the countries who missed women’s quotas might have a chance. 

 

Hopefully some of the women are able to pull a miracle in the sprint tomorrow.
 

I just watched both races, and damn! The women’s race was merciless thanks to Baiba. I was impressed overall with the quality skiing from the Brazilian team @heywoodu. Great day for the Danes, Chanloungs, and Campbell Wright as well.

I don’t believe Campbell Wright will start in the 15km. He posted on Instagram that he’s heading back to Austria for the Junior/Youth Biathlon World Championships. 
 

He probably just raced in order to qualify for the Olympics, but it was a damn good ski from him today.

Slovakia might have to hope for some ranking/reallocation magic if they want any men’s skiers in Beijing.

Just thought I’d give an overall qualification update, so we can know where things stand heading into heading into the sprints.

 

Countries (with skiers entered at the world championships) that remain without a female athlete eligible for a basic quota: :HUN:LTU:GRE:MGL:BIH:MKD:SRB:BUL:IRI:MNE:CHI:COL:MEX:POR:LBN:AUS:ROU:KOR:ESP:SVK:AUT

Countries (with skiers entered at the world championships) that remain without a male athlete eligible for a basic quota: :ECU:PER:TTO:TAN:ISR:VEN:MAS:ESP
 

You can see the damage done by Bendika on the women’s side. Plus, a few countries who have yet to race. 
 

Of the 8 countries without a quota on the men’s side, only 3 of them will start in the sprint (ESP, TTO, VEN). My guess is that only Spain stands a chance of meeting the criteria.

I need to correct this @hckošice. :SVK had a men’s skier meet the criteria at the U23 World Champs, so Slovakia will get a basic quota for the men.

Can you explain why Bendika participation damaged the qualification process of many NOC?

 

Sorry if explained before, did not read anywhere else

    • 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.
