:ECU Jungbluth scored some great FIS points in yesterday's race. :thumbup: His average is now 308, so he should be able to secure first ever Ecuadorian qualification by the end of the Sao Carlos races.:cheer:

 

If the heat doesn't kill them like it almost did today. I guess tomorrow it should be a bit closer, since everybody will be more used to the rollerski's they're using (organization provides them and then they have a draw to decide who gets which pair). Meanwhile Victor Santos seems to be dealing the final blows to Lucão in the fight for the Olympic ticket.

 

In the women's race, Bruna was in destruction mode today :bowdown:

She would have placed 11th in the men's race with this time, but probably even higher since the women had slower wheels than the men. More good news, there are two very young Brazilian girls who had their first FIS competition today. No world-class FIS points of course, but they just barely started training so it's a start and actually the first new young girls in Brazil since Bruna in 2014/15 :)

Oh, dear, that's roller skiing on 35 degrees. :zip:

By the way, that is again a rather impressive performance from 16-year old Thomaz Moraes, considering he's not going for the Olympics, but the Paralympics :)

Hopefully, but he scored 487 points today!! He needs to improve his 5th score, currently 375, so something around 330 points should be enough to send him to PyeongChang!

264 today :)

:clap: That’s Ecuador on the plane to Korea!! And extra good news for Bruna, maintaining her 100% Brazilian record and with a time that would beat lots of the Brazilian men!

Too bad Salcedo didn't start, so there was just one real competitor against her and apparently Gabi wasn't good enough (yet, she will be) to really challenge her today. But still, a win is a win :d

Apparently FIS is thinkingabout throwing skiathlon out of the big events and introducing biathlon-alike pursuit instead.

 

All for the urban generation, of course.

    • Broke down some numbers of what is still in doubt: For 3 sleds men and women are done. For two sleds there is no competition left in men's (  doesn't enter a WC race and secures two?) but in women's its  Erlacher vs  Channel and Erlacher needs to finish probably four positions ahead in final WC race.   For one sled, in men's, Takahashi or  Yaw will have to enter a EC or WC race for the first time this year, or it is over. Even if they do they have to gain about 50 points over their current 7th best result, so they would need to score about 100. So men's probably done, unless  Buff does not compete again, even then he could still make it.   The women's final few placements could be chaotic and will really depend on who decides to race where on the final weekend. Looking at current 7 best results  Schmied has 492,  Johansen has 493,   Delka has 524, and  Burger has 538. For Delka to miss out then the lower two need to both finish top 20 in a WC or I think top 7 in a EC. They both have a 7th best score of 36 they have to improve on, and who knows if Delka will race one more time or not.
    • will have 5 representatives in Luge at the 2026 Olympics.      Jozef Ninis (Top pic) in the M Singles will compete at his 6th consecutive WOG !!! He debuted in Torino 2006 to close the circle in another Italian resort in 2026, by this he set the new Slovak Winter Olympic record of participation and tie the all time one with Erik Vlček competing at 6 games in Sprint Canoeing as well.   The remaining quartet (Pic 2) will debut at the Olympics, all still Juniors Christián Bosman & Bruno Mick in the M Doubles and still schoolgirls Viktória Praxová & Desana Špitzová in the olympic premiere of the W Doubles     Must also be said, that we were quite unlucky in this qualifiers periode, Marián Skupek missed the second M Singles quota by 1 point and ended first non-qualified athlete and the experienced doubles Vaverčák/Zmij which was in clear qualifying position ended the season after Vaverčák injured his knee in the training before the Sigulda race 2 weeks ago   Also for the first time no W Singles participation for us meaning also obviously no participation in the Mixed Relay competition for the first time as well   Team (Updated as of 12th January 2026) 40 Athletes (30 M + 10 W)    
    • Hypothetically she could meet the minimum standards still with a high placement in the NAC event tomorrow. Seems unlikely to me, but still possible.

    • Yea she did not meet the minimum points. Since the event doesn't have enough qualifiers, its possible the FIS still grants her a quota
