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

[prso1000 681]

Croatia is supposed to have 3 male (Crnkovic, Zaharija and Perusic) and 1 female (Jagecic) in the qualification races. 
 

2 females (Malec, Hadzic) and 1 male (Skender) seem to be qualified.
I am surprised female biathletes are not there in Oberstdorf. 
 

all 7 are supposed to participate in the Sprint. Malec/Crnkovic in Skiathlon.

Crnkovic is not on the list though (for the qualifying race, that is), he might be automatically qualified?

I got a PDF titled "Athletes allowed to enter for the qualification race", and apparently it's not possible for anyone not on this list to still be added to the start list later today. We'll see if that's indeed the case, but if so, there is a maximum of 45 women competing tomorrow - from the nations mentioned in my earlier post. I'll make a similar one for the men (the PDF is a file, not a link, so I can't link it ).

Maybe they will pick 4 from those 6, names only revealed in the starlist.

Probably. I found it interesting/funny though, Iran of all countries having the absolute maximum number of athletes entered  

 

Good for them though, always good to see countries like Iran coming with a full team!

Races have been moved up to the morning! The only sensible decision

Due to the current ban of our Skiing federation Our National Olympic Committee was appointed by our governement and by FIS to officially send our delegation and to be the official representative institution of our athletes in this competition as well,

 

so the Slovak NOC announced the roster for the World Championships

 

 

  Team Slovakia   

 

Men

• Ján Koristek (Sprint C, Team Sprint F, 15 km F, 50 km C Mass Start)
• Andrej Renda (Sprint C, Team Sprint F, 15 km F ?)
• Jáchym Cenek (Sprint C,15 km F ?)

 

Women

• Alena Procházková (Sprint C, Team Sprint F, 10 km F, Skiathlon ?)
• Barbora Klementová (Sprint C, Team Sprint F, 10 km F ?)

 

Expand  

 

Big troubles in team.....

 

 

Remove Renda and Cenek from the list.

 

Slovakia will have only 3 athletes in Oberstdorf, 1 men and 2 womens.

 

Ján Koristek will be our only male participant, our NOC somehow managed to obtain a special exemption to enter Germany through our embassy and various German regional hygienists for Koristek. So he was finally able to enter Germany yesterday. However, he must pass a test every single day he will spend in Germany. the other two had to stay in Slovakia, so no Team sprint for us.

Koristek will start only in Sprint and 15km with eventual Skiathlon participation to be evaluated later n Oberstdorf.

Damn. What happened to the other two, they tested positive/didn't test at all or something like that, or was the problem the way they entered Germany? Damn, these times
