@heywooduCanada does not keep active licenses with the FIS during the summer, which is why the quota simulation shows as 0 eligible athletes. This will change when its renewed in the fall.

Huh, never heard of that before. Is there any reason to actively de-activate licenses during the summer? Surely a country like Canada doesn't need to save the handful of dollars in fees, considering they're big enough to have 30-40 pairs of skis (or more)......per athlete?

Cross-Country Skiing courses will be the hardest in history. The men's 50km race, for example, has a total ascent of 2039 meters. The maximum allowed is 2100 meters, plus the altitude of about 1600 meters.

So that's why we're suddenly allowed to send 4 cc skiers  

 

Well, the results are certainly not going to be good, but we're going to have the biggest Lithuanian team that the Winter Olympics have ever seen, since we nearly secured 5 spots in biathlon, we have 2 for figure skating and 2 for alpine skiing.

Katerina Razymova - PREGNANT - and going to miss Beijing as the best current female cross country skier. Let's hope for some young guns and wish all the best to Katerina and smooth flow of her pregnancy🙂

True, she says she is super excited about the news and most of the  fans are, too. ....

 

Yeah, Linn - that's the sad news ..... The season barely started and already some shitty news, a.k.a. Leintinger, Shiffrin,....

@dcro You are good with rules, help us out please

 

 

This quite clearly states that an athlete who does NOT have under 100 distance points and also does NOT have under 300 sprint points, can not complete in the individual sprint, correct?

That would be my conclusion, yes. Leaves no room for another interpretation.

I agree with that conclusion. So that means Mirlene Picin would not be eligible for the Sprint? What would happen if Picin has a better FIS points average, but only Bruna can start in two events?
