Alpine Skiing 2017 - 2018 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

So, in talks with the Spanish Federation, they are still saying that Spain owns a men's spot in each discipline and saying that they are going to send Juan del Campo in giant slalom and Quim Salarich in slalom (both males).

 

I'm pretty sure Spain only owns a men's quota overall and we can send only one of them but they wont listen, and I'm going crazy.

Well, you are correct, they are wrong. :d

 

FIS updates qualification tables very regularly, so it's pretty embarrassing for a sport federation to be wrong about that!

I've send them links to the FIS page, the oficial qualification pdf translated to spanish and I talked to journalist to talk to them (cause maybe they'll believe more if a serious journalist explain them this rather than me, a random boy); and nothing worked. :facepalm:

Even in the last new they uploaded to their official webpage they are saying that Alex Puente (another boy) has his last chance next week to fullfith internal national criteria and being added to the team in Supergigant..........

 

Worst part of all is that both Juan and Quim are super nice and likeable boys and it kills me seing both so happy in twitter or instagram posts saying how they are going to the Olympics when I'm 99% sure one of them isn't going...

    • sure! in every Italian bedroom you normally have every kind of table, chairs, furniture, tv screen  to me, this really look an unfinished room, you normally don't see such a sad place even when you buy a new house 
    • Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.
    • Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.
    • Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.    
    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
