ski federation okayed the athletes, but the NOC of Peru rejected them, saying "its too expensive".

Oh come on. At least say so before the qualifying period even starts, so everyone knows they have no chance..

The sad part is the OC is covering the costs of flying the athletes over, all you really need is a CDM.

We'll have to wait and see, but I doubt anyone will be able to defeat the Icelanders in fraud and bigfoot competitions (Google Translate).

Do we already have any idea which athletes are going to do the combined? I find this the by far hardest event to even guess who'll start

of course we don't know the Austrian coaches' decisions yet...

 

but my guess are:

 

Haaser, Siebenhofer among the girls and Hirscher, Mayer and Kriechmayr among the boys for sure...

then I think it's quite a lottery...probably they would make some trials when they are on the Korean courses to see who's in better shape and who's adapting him/herself better to those tracks...

however, my picks are Venier and Brunner (women) and Schwarz (men) to complete the rosters...

Oh wait, now I see that we are the winners of reallocations, with 5 additional quotas. Nobody had as many.
