I also sorta remember Greece investigating whether to field ( field ) hockey teams in Athens by checking out the Greek diaspora in hockey playing nations . They didn't participate so I guess they  couldn't find enough Greek passport qualified hockey players 

This is more similar to China in ice hockey than the British basketball teams for example. They at least were a tiny bit competitive sometimes (not greatly, but they were not destroyed in every match), which is just not at all the case for China in ice hockey, apparently.

 

Nobody wins if the host nation doesn't need to qualify and then is completely annihilated game after game...I hope they won't be.

Is this the first time that fans want to punish a team for not naturalizing enough foreign players? :p I don't think the IOC will or should intervene here, that would set a dangerous precedent, only China can choose to give up its quota. IIHF could have included a performance requirement in their qualification system, but once it's approved it's too late - private discussions with Chinese officials don't really matter.

FIS has released quota simulations for all disciplines.

 

Have fun! https://www.fis-ski.com/en/inside-fis/document-library/winter-olympic-games

 

From what I see, Aerials has only 11 nations and 7 team event entries, yikes.

China is missing from that list due to not competing last year, so it’s likely closer to 12 nations and 8 teams assuming you didn’t count China.

It doesn't include China. I think 7-9 teams is realistically what we could have expected anyway. Teams who are currently in position to qualify for team aerials are :BLR:CAN:KAZ:RUS:SUI:UKR:USA. The big missing piece other than China is Australia since they currently have no elite male jumper.

 

Canada currently has four athletes in qualifying position in all freestyle events, so as usual internal qualification will be brutal. Luckily the max number of athletes per country is 32 (up from 30 in 2018) so we are only looking at giving up eight quotas.

I’m assuming some of the Slopestyle athletes can also compete in Big Air too.

Slopestyle athletes and big air athletes qualify from a combined ranking list - you either qualify for both events or neither.

Ah yeah, that was last week or so but I forgot to mention it, I was only focused on cross-country :d 

 

Curious if here we'll also see which nations rejects which quota.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
