Olympian1010 7,418 Posted February 24, 2021 #151 Share Posted February 24, 2021 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. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted February 24, 2021 #155 Share Posted February 24, 2021 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. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted February 24, 2021 #158 Share Posted February 24, 2021 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: Countries (with skiers entered at the world championships) that remain without a male athlete eligible for a basic quota: 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. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I need to correct this @hckošice. had a men’s skier meet the criteria at the U23 World Champs, so Slovakia will get a basic quota for the men. “Sport has the power to change the world.
