"I've never been the best shooter and nowadays you basically need to shoot clean...especially being a mom, I simply don't have the time that I need to improve my shooting, but I still have a lot of fun skiing, so I'm going to focus on that." Does this mean that I'll have to find the time to watch cross-country skiing again? Also, I miss the legendary Miri days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I heard so correctly, Chile will choose their athlete based on who has the single best result, not on who has the best average. Yonathan Fernandez has a much better average, but his best so far is a 132 (and he didn't finish yesterday), so this might be fantastic for Juan. Still nothing is sure, so I'm not celebrating too early yet, let's see how he does tomorrow. Claudia Salcedo had 156 points (if I'm not mistaken), which means she only needs a half-decent result in Turkey's last race tomorrow to get her average back under 300 and qualify for Pyeongchang, vamos Claudia Hello.Check this information... http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/01307e_06fd4487ed604d92a008d43acac52ad8.doc?dn=2016-07-31_Criterios_de_Selección_Olimpíadas_Pyeochang.doc Chilean Qualification Criteria: D) "If there is more than one athlete that meets these criteria the selection would then be based on the athletes ranking or the one that has the least points in the corresponding discipline."

I am not speculating, just saying what I heard from athletes when we were talking about qualifying for the Olympics Thanks though, I still really hope Juan gets it Edited January 7, 2018 by heywoodu 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!

Makes your cheering for his direct opponent weird, doesn't it. No it doesn't I know Juan personally and found him to be a very nice and friendly guy. I'm sure Yonathan is a nice guy and very hard working athlete who deserves a place too, but since I don't know him personally and the 'fight' is between them, I'm cheering for the person I actually met (and who made sure I had dinner and breakfast) dcro 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!

Werloc 3,127 Posted January 7, 2018 #198 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Lithuania qualified three cross-country skiers to the Olympics. It's Modestas Vaičiulis, he's a sprinter, honestly our best chance to not be last The second one is Tautvydas Strolia and you might recognise this name as his brother Vytautas Strolia is a biathlete. The third one is Marija Kaznačenko, a girl that was depressed about her biathlon results and thought that she would never qualify to the Olympics so she took the easy way out to become a cc skier in order to qualify with no competition what so ever.
