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

 

Our guys, not so much.

I have Jagecic going for 3rd-5th, for what it's worth :p 

.

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?

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.

Start lists are out.

 

As feared, we will lose many nations for the Olympics. :BER:IND:KGZ:MDA:MAR:PRK:PAK:TGA:TOG are already out for sure.

 

As for the others,

No chance of qualification - :ISR:MAS:TAN:TTO:VEN

Could go either way - :ECU:PER:POR

 

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 :(

How does the qualification race works? A specific time or a top position?

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.

Athletes from Norway are not very happy about the conditions in Oberstdorf

Tomorrow morning it could be a bit less bad though. Too bad, right when our Brazilian today figured out how to really get through the watery downhills :p

Thank you :)

 

I'll cheer for the Mexicans, but also for @brunamoura

    • Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that
    • If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?
    • Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?   In fact, Ukraine dominates Europe as much as Japan does the world- they have the best school in women's wrestling. In 2024, Ukraine only won 1 silver medal at the Paris Olympics? So even domination in Europe doesn't guarantee even 1 gold medal at the Olympics. Although, of course, if Italy for example, can't even win 1 bronze medal at the European Championships, then there's no point in even going to the World Championships...
    • Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková
    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.
