It's sad how luge commentators are clueless about how Olympic qualification works...

 

They actually say: "Most of the big nations will have 3 lugers per event, while smaller ones choose not to have more than 1 or 2." :facepalm:

I think it’s like that because in practice the big countries qualify all the sleds they want up to the quota limit.

 

In bobsleigh / skeleton the comentators are much more aware of how qualification works because very few countries can have the max quota.

Probably Slovakia will have 5 athletes in PyeongChang. 3 of them are already officially qualified. Jozef Ninis in the men´s Singles and the pair Marek Solčanský/Karol Stuchlák in the men´s doubles event. But very likely we will receive 2 more quotas for the young Šimoňák sibs. Jakub Šimoňák as our second competitor in the mens singles thanks his placement in the reduced qualifying ranking, and his sister Katarína Šimoňáková in the women´s singles. She did not achieved the qualifying standards, but apparently she will receive a invitational quota for the women´s single in order to form a team relay.

 

FIL will add individual quotas for the nations aspiring for the team´s relay but missing 1 quota, and as I´ve read from the quote of the general secretary of our Luge federation, There Strong rumors that FIL will give these quotas to only 2 nations to Czech Republic and Slovakia. The final confirmation is expected at the beginning of this week.

IOC are having hearings for Russian lugers this week about the Sochi Olympics.

Albert Demchenko and Tatiana Ivanova are definitely two of the names involved.

Fil will give 4 quotas for nations to form a team relay. Slovakia and Czech Republic for women's, Romania and Ukraine for doubles

Am I right that :GBR have 2 quotas for men's singles?

 

Seems like it. Are they going to accept those quotas though I wonder?

 

I know that Slovenia won't be accepting their quotas, so there are already some guaranteed reallocations.

Have they ever finished in the top 67% of a World Cup race?

Hard to say with this ridiculous point system that FIL got (after some position every competitor gets exactly one point). Such a shame that Portugal got DSQ in the first stage, as getting 1 in every stage would have been enough...

Looks like Rosen just broke that 67% requirement with his 2 points score. Finished 39th out of 59. Don't know if any of Staudinger's 1 point scores were within that 67% (probably not I'd say).

The GBR rules say you have that you have to be in the 67% in 2 world cup races so it looks like the quota will be declined.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
