Big FIS points for all of them today. :/

 

I imagine freestyle will suit them better (at least to everyone except Madrazo).

Slight improvement, but still far away from qualification for Project Bogota. :(:LBN Tawk was also disappointingly bad (over 400, while in Western Europe he managed <400). At least :PAK Human (yes, that's his name) scored 200 FIS points. He should qualify after the next race.

 

At this point I doubt Pita/Uprimny/Madrazo could qualify at any non-Bogota race. They needed almost an hour for 15km. :dunno: Maybe some chance for Madrazo in a classic race, as he is better there than in freestyle (very unusual for exotic nation skier).

How long will it take to organize the Tongan national roller skiing championship (with guest competitors of course) in somewhere like Bermuda?

That's how Vanessa-Mae qualified for Sochi - by organising her own Thai National Championships.

 

Just wanted to check on Pita's points

266

245

270

298

537

Average 323?

Needs to drop 23?

I wouldn't know about that. Maybe @ahjfcshfghb knows more? But then again, I wouldn't really use Vanessa-Mae as a role model when it comes to the Olympic qualifiction. :p

 

He needs one more result of 419 or better to put AVG under 300. Effectively that meant he needed to be about 4-5 minutes faster today...

Well I asked Bogota and they said they’d had it planned since last season. I’m honestly not sure if you can do it just like that!

I'm not sure if it's good to write that on a public forum where FIS might go when searching thoroughly :lol: (and yes, I heard the same thing a while back)

Well, it's all within the rules (not bribing stewards like some other skiers may have done). :whistle:

Very successful post-Christmas race in Erzurum! Except for Pita and Madrazo.

 

:COL Uprimny (aka Iron Man) scored 418.21 pts, enough to qualify for Pyeongchang. :cheer:  :PAK Human also officially qualified by scoring well below 200. :bounce: Even :LBN Tawk nailed it today, less than 200 FIS points too!

    • 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?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
