Still, this is getting worrying.

Great, I guess we might lose quotas thanks to our sleepy NOC.

Americans decided to use all 22 quota's, on basically 2.5 medal hopefuls (shiffrin, vonn and possibly ligety). Our moto is give us all your quota's , we will find a way to use them

Just been chatting to a journalist.

 

Sabrina Simader of Kenya been told by her NOC she's going to Korea.

So they've decided to accept the quota. Now the question is if they remembered to tell the FIS

They will probably not race at least one or two of them. The US traditionally uses the downhill training runs as an internal qualifying race, which is pretty sensible IMO.

Weird things can always happen. Just look at Andrew Weibrecht, who basically has never even been close to being a real top of the world class kind of skier (obviously he's good, but barely top-30 kind of good), yet finds himself with an Olympic bronze and silver medal at home.

They declined the quotas which means Peru won't be going to the Olympics
