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

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).

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
