No. They are simply gone.

 

The per country limit really should be 40 (rather than 30), it would have prevented or at least mitigated this situation where there are unused quotas both in Sochi and here.

 

The reason for the limit is to increase participation of smaller/weaker nations. Just filling the spots with more Canadians and Americans (the only nations where the limit hurt) doesn't help things. I can see the IOC reducing quotas for the sport.

Or maybe reduce minimum requirements.

The US had to turn down four women’s ski cross quotas that ended up going u filled. How does that help anybody?

And in other events the bottom ranked nations would be pushed out to fill more Canadian/Americans, how is that suppose to help the sport?

Most of the reallcations went to countries that already had quotas, only exception I can think of off the top of my head is Denmark in women’s half pipe.

Ignoring the max quota the following nations would be excluded from the following events

 

(men's ski cross)

(women's slopestyle)

(women's half-pipe)

(men's aerials)

 

Hungary is a big one to miss out, while the others just makes the event more diverse.
