Well, Jaque and Bruna will be in direct competition against those they are competing against for a second quota.

I can just see Bruna's shints exploding but she's finishing this damn race I am so proud!

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 ag

Just to provide my interpretation to some questions I saw about qualification...

 

@heywoodu Yes, I believe that if Brazil is 30th (or better) in the Nations Ranking, they will get an additional quota place on top of the basic quota earned by Jaque.

 

I’ve also done some quota math, and if my calculations are correct, and the number of countries earning basic quotas doesn’t increase, this is the situation we’re looking at:

 

Women - Quotas allocated through D.2 + Rounds 1-3 of D.3 + 10/11 quotas remains for allocation in Round 4 of D.3 (So in theory, 20 countries will have at least 4 skiers in Beijing, meaning 20 countries eligible for relay, and perhaps 30 or more eligible for team sprint)

 

Men - Quotas allocated through D.2 + Rounds 1-2 of D.3 + a few more through Round 3 of D.3 (So in theory, 10 or a couple more countries will have at least 4 skiers in Beijing, meaning 10 or so countries eligible for relay, and perhaps 30 eligible for team sprint)

 

In terms of the relay, the clause that lets teams use a biathlete might be rather important on the men’s side.

Keep in mind that Thailand for example will not be able to enter another woman even if they wanted to.

 

Andorra declining the second quota is a given (they may even decline them both).

Right, I was just trying to figure out what the allocation of quotas will look like after normal allocation. Reallocation is a whole other thing for now. One of my favorite parts of Olympic qualification is when the FIS publishes the list of quotas, and we get to watch “live” as countries accept/reject quotas and accept/reject reallocations :d

Why is that? Because no other Thai competed at the World's?

Doesn't like the entire :THA cross country team consist of two Italian-born siblings?

 

Btw, :LAT Baiba Bendika will start in the 10km race? No publicity stunt for FIS points only?

Well, they have a Thai surname, so presumably a father.  I am sure Bendika is not a personal stunt, a la Bjoerndalen or Berger, bur definitely an attempt to boost national rankings.

At World Cup level? Yes. 
 

However, the Thailand Ski Association has been working to establish a grassroots roller ski program similar to that of Brazil. They did send a youth skier to the Winter Youth Olympics last year, and have a couple other youth skiers registered as “active” in the FIS system. However, it doesn’t seem like any roller ski races were held last year (probably do to Covid, and/or them being only interested in the Winter YOG). I don’t know if that program will continue, but the possibility is there. There’s nothing stopping them from trying to get one of those skiers eligible to fill a second quota should they earn one, but it doesn’t seem likely at the moment.

There’s currently no other Thai skiers that meet the basic eligibility requirement (FIS Points under 300).

If I understand correctly, it's ironic that while it seemed like Bruna and Jacqueline Mourao were competing against each other for the Olympic spot, Jacqueline is the main reason Bruna still has a chance? Because she was the only Brazilian to score under 300 FIS Points at the Championships, and participating in the skiathlon and team sprint will give Brazil extra nation ranking points.

Because they have no other athlete.

 

Previously they had that Klobuczek person, but it appears she no longer competes (not like she would have qualified anyway).

      Yesterday results:  VS  33-21,  team continued their unbeaten record (35 game without losing in WCh since 2017) the game started for  and score reached 10-3 after 15 min, better performance from  team led to closing the gap to 15-12 by half time, the 2nd half had a margin favor for  till minute 40 when the Danish team start scoring 8 consecutive goals without response, 12 minutes until Brazil scored again, during that blackout time  GK Martins did really well but his team mates were not able to break the great wall of Nielsen. hard luck for  and wish they continue such great performance in next tournaments.     VS  31-30, the most improved and best performer so far  (except  for sure) had a great night yesterday. to get the summary of the game,  were playing  GK Wolff who made 21 saves in the game !! 21 !!! I believe at least 17-18 of them were one on one. on the other hand both  GKs did well saving 12 shots (Marques saved 7 while Capdeville saved 5). the game  started with  leading till end of first hal 13-9 ..  in second half ..ah ..sorry ..I will say Wolff not   ...Wolff in 2nd half managed to close the gap and even lead by 2 goals, but Portela and Francisco Costa were able to finish the time draw 26-26. the extra time started with  heading again thanks to :Francisco Costa and  Martim Costa .. Knorr and Zerbe managed to draw for the team Wolff ... but 4 seconds before the end Martim Costa scored the golden goal to secure the first ever  semifinal spot in a well deserved game with huge frustration from Wolff against his team mates.   in 2019  U21 team finished 4th in WCh ( finished 3rd in the same tournament) in the same year  U 19 team finished 4th too in Wch ( won that tournament) now  in the semi final with amazing performance and mix of mostly young players and few experienced.   Semi Final Games:   30th of Jan    VS   31st of Jan    VS

      I know that. I was just wondering if any users on here have been keeping track of quotas since FIS likely won't make the qualification points list public until spring at the earliest.    And judging by the lack of replies on here, it would seem like the answer is no unsurprisingly

      I know Norway is heavily cutting finances in ski jumping so presumably there is some economical shift in sports over there but it would be insane to have the likes of JTB or Riiber compete for Qatar or any other petroleum country now

      With Russia’s ongoing ban I’m a little surprised at least one of  hasn’t suddenly gotten very good at biathlon, cross country skiing, figure skating and/or ice hockey.

      I honestly didn't expect the victory, not even my most optimistic self. But handball here has gained great visibility due to the historic campaign (at least more than it usually has) and I was hoping that we would have at least one great game against the Danes. It had been a long time since the world championships had even been broadcast here. But the main fear is that the sport will be abandoned again, like what happened after the end of our golden generation of women's handball. I hope not.
