Thanks a lot :hatoff: But the koreans quote will be substituite the host country quota? Or it's a plus? :mumble:

 

No. They won these quotas regularly in the qualification period, so no Host quotas needed or reallocated in Ice Dance or mens singles

Apparently Majorov will have to reach that 260 pts threshold, which is unlikely. He has to do that because this is his 2nd Olympics. Meanwhile, whichever Swedish girl gets selected will be able to go without extra requirements because she'll be making her Olympic debut.

 

Unless this decision gets reversed somehow, it will be :PHI that will gain the reallocation.

First GP of the season is in progress...

 

After Yuzuru Hanyu's free skate around 1000 teddy bears were thrown onto the ice. :p And after he got defeated eventually camera showed some Japanese girls crying in the stands. Come on, it's not the end of the World. :lol:

Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Nikolaj Sørensen have decided that they will represent Canada in the future with the 2022 Olympics as their ultimate goal.
So sad, but understandable as they live and train in Canada making a change of Laurence's nationality unlikely.

Due to this, they will stop competing on an international level for a year.

This was a very bad showing for :ESP Javier Fernandez in Beijing. I'm afraid that Spanish Winter Olympic curse might continue...

Haha. 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

    • Not to the public until end of Wednesday, entry deadline is under 5 hours from now. Gonna see if I can persuade a couple more to join, like our Uruguayan friend who said he would be able to join due to time but now might be able to with the short turn around.

    • What can you expect from a simple woman from Magadan? As long as she was just running around and not talking, it was okay, but since she became an head of the federation in Rus and started talking this nonsense, it turned out that she was empty-headed. On top of that, she's fat as a pig. Disgusting person inside and out.
    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season.
