It's a tight fight between probably two or three countries to get inside the top-30 (women) and get a second women's quota...

 

 

This was also the Brazilian goal, but one might wonder how much of it is still alive. At the very least Jaque Mourão will have to start in all the other races she can do (because yes, there has indeed apparently been an exception made so not only yesterday's top-2 is qualified, as was rumoured yesterday).

 

 

Interestingly, Greece and Lithuania remain without a basic quota, but might get one based off their ranking.

Not bad. Lithuanian 15-year olds are sitting ducks, while the likes of Armenia, Greece or even Thailand are beatable.

Lithuania qualified via Junior Worlds.

Only the U23 races count, not the junior races.

So Wikipedia is wrong, to the shock of no one.

 

Anyway, this means no cheap quota for Lithuanian women this time. Today was their last chance  @Werloc

Well, Lithuania could actually get one quota through the Nation’s Ranking, even though they’ll miss the opportunity to get a basic quota.

Honestly, should Lithuania care?  

 

Our cc-skiing is absolutely abyssmal, I just hope Dainytė gets bribed to join biathlon, she only lost 2:39 to Bendika, that's salvagable, very very salvagable.

Curious which countries are going for last-ditch qualifying efforts at the Engadin World Cup in two weeks..

Apparently they didn't care much as it is. Just sending Kočergina to Oberstdorf for a training run would have been quite enough to earn qualification (which would then be transferrable to one of the youngsters).

Bruna hugging all around on the finish line with Dominguez, not so much with Mourao

I did, when she stopped at the end of the finish area. But the camera didn't show that. And yes, I was specifically waiting for Ceci because we are always supporting each other despite of our races against each other in South America
