Unlike Vancouver it certainly is cold enough to snow here, it's just so dry. It's still snowing now and it's supposed to keep going until tomorrow. But it'll be gone in a few days.

Well the"unless" happened. Czech declined a women SBX quota when everybody is already offline. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,305 Posted January 20, 2022 #689 Share Posted January 20, 2022 yeah expected. Was a bit too much optimistic from the Czechs to put Samková in the nomination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, don't forget about in what age the Olympics are held. Not only injuries, but covid may somehow have a strong word either before or during the Olympics. I suppose some countries will travel with some extra who are "just below the qualification line" in case someone is out due to covid or restrictions related to that, so IOC can do a quick reallocation to athletes who are ready at the venue. I remember there were some situation like this in Tokyo. If I am correct something something about quadruple sculls in rowing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
