Partially, indeed. 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!

Though having ice dance and pairs equal (so minus 8 quotas) would not do much. Meaning speed skating is going to lose a sizeable chunk. The way short track is set up, I do not think you can cut quotas. oh, if you listen to some idiots of the IOC, you can always go down to 16 individuals in 500m & 1000m and 18 in 1500m + only 4 teams in the relays, with a direct final (thus cutting athletes and competition rounds, to make the whole sessions more tv-friendly)... remember, there's no limit to those bunch of *** Edited November 4, 2019 by phelps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,192 Posted November 4, 2019 #115 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) I just can't believe they can even consider removing quotas from figure skating. That's a ridiculously popular sport for Winter standards, which already has limited participation given its depth. Seriously though, I used to lurk around a figure skating forum I stumbled across, and let me tell you, for each major event they get thousands and thousands of posts. It's completely incomparable to Totallympics. Edited November 4, 2019 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,663 Posted November 4, 2019 #116 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Whatever they do, FIS and IBU should hurry up already and give a clue as to how qualification will go.

Olympian1010 7,579 Posted December 10, 2019 #117 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The FIL shared this image on their Instagram today. This track looks really cool. Without seeing the full run in a bobsled, it looks like a starters track to me, but I could be wrong. Either way, I think it will be a world class venue. “Sport has the power to change the world.

heywoodu 13,663 Posted December 10, 2019 #119 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Besides, isn't it even finished yet? That'd be utterly bizarre by now.
