prso1000 540 Posted February 23, 2021 #62 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I am not sure how the qualification system works, but for e.g. Croatia is practically impossible to get a 2nd quota per gender, right? unless you are in top 30 nations? Is that ranking somewhere available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that ranking somewhere available? Probably, although Skender already collected some points in Finland (a notable Top 30 result in the sprint). I guess we are right around the 30th place in both genders so this event could be crucial. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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)... Yeah, should be a noticeable decrease in nations from Pyeongchang 2018 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

mrv86 2,924 Posted February 23, 2021 #67 Share Posted February 23, 2021 How does the qualification race works? A specific time or a top position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things: to qualify for the main race, athletes have to be in the top-10 and get a total of under 180.00 FIS points, the latter being a combination of the strength of the (top of the) field and the time difference with the one(s) in front. Which is a problem for the women, since the by far strongest athlete in the race has bad FIS points, because she barely competes in FIS races and is a World Cup level biathlete. mrv86 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
