I've heard the Mexican lady being described as 'very nice', so I'm cheering for her too now  

Heard it first hand?

Start lists are out.

 

As feared, we will lose many nations for the Olympics. are already out for sure.

 

As for the others,

No chance of qualification - 

Could go either way -

 

Everyone else should be safe to go under 300 pts (at least in one gender)...

Don't worry, Olympics will be probably postponed for a year. Meanwhile, since Eurosport is giving more attention to our Pogačar at the UAE Tour, which is not bad, Austrian national broadcaster ORF will be my stop to cheer for @brunamoura and all the others not to stuck too deep in soft snow.

Always a good exercise to see how weird and unfair FIS points really are (IBU points are so much better), one only needs to look at the Brazilian men: Manex is by far the best, followed by probably Steve and then Matheus and then Victor, but he doesn't often compete in Europe (unlike the others) and so mostly gets great points from the Brazilian races, leading to him being one of the last ones to start

Ah yeah, ORF! Any idea where one can watch that online? I have the Eurosport Player (and they will show it there) so for me it doesn't matter, but I know some people who'd want to watch

Nika Jagečić should be able to quality out of the women's race.

 

Our guys, not so much.
