Maybe he's having a short training camp in Austria while figuring out where the next races will be? 

 

Could be... But there is less than a month of qualification period left. Hopefully he'll go to Turkey, as that might be the best chance in Europe.

I hope so too. The Brazilian in Project Bogota said he's a really nice and friendly guy, who was willing to learn from the others and also willing to help them in things he can help them with (like some better equipment since he's more famous and has more access to good sponsors), so I'm definitely cheering even more for him now :)

Good race with 346 pts for :NEP Rai today. Wise decision to race in Slovakia. :d

 

I guess her next stop will be Turkey, @ahjfcshfghb?

It would be. But that’s over Christmas and nobody will be free to take her :( 

So after Christmas it’s going to be the Serbian and Lithuanian National Championships, Turkey and Bosnia, then Lebanon if there’s enough entries and Armenia if not. Then back to Serbia and finishing off in Iceland. Iran got canceled but may be rescheduled...

Next Austrian race will be Villach on the 28th (and that's classic technique which I doubt he prefers). Pretty questionable decision to be in Central Europe, I expected Project Bogota to relocate to North America. :dunno:

 

415 is enough for him, but I'm sure he won't achieve that in Central Europe...

Lebanon is the answer!

Cool! Lebanon seems to be a popular cross-country destination these days. :d Suddenly there is a whole bunch of Lebanese skiers competing all over Europe and they will host their first ever XC event. Hopefully Lebanon will be rewarded for this by qualifying for the Olympics themselves. :)

It’ll be a rush. But yeah :p She’s really good at endurance. She’s done 3 races in 4 days all with similar results. Thing is she just needs better technique to be faster. Also we are limited to freestyle (skating) races, classic cant be done yet.

We are hoping with Lebanon she can beat the Lebanese ladies and get 140.80 points!

Yeah, I concluded that by looking at her results. She's stealing the Montenegrins' trademark. :p

 

Well, she'll get her frequent flyer miles, that's for sure. :d

Something's wrong with these results... :p

If this was a real winning time then :TGA Taufatofua's 19th place would give him 53640.58 FIS points. :lol:

Quick, somebody calculate how fast Damjanovski is to finish 10000 km in 20 seconds.

I'm betting on him to ski to the Formula One world title in 2018 :champion:

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
