Amateurs. It's obvious IOC doesn't give a flying rat about Tibet. These protests were much stronger before 2008 SOG and obviously achieved absolutely nothing. World has moved on from the Tibet issue some time ago already. Nobody likes to fight a losing war for too long.

If Soberanis fails to qualify, then she will be removed from the list of candidates.

I'm assuming everyone who doesn't qualify will be removed from this list? Although probably not, since Fourcade is on there and definitely won't qualify  

 

Slightly surprised to see Mourão going for it. She is part of the athletes' commission in both the Brazilian snow sports federation and the Brazilian cycling federation (president even, I believe), so at least she is familiar with these kind of things. I do hope the IOC athletes' commission does more than the Brazilian snow sports federation's one though, which I think met once or twice (online) in the past two or three years, one of which was simply to confirm the new members.

You can atill run if you are retired but competed at the last edition of the games.
