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? 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!

JonPhi 250 Posted November 2, 2021 #12 Share Posted November 2, 2021 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. Olympian1010 and Ted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werloc 3,155 Posted November 10, 2021 #14 Share Posted November 10, 2021 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.

heywoodu 14,901 Posted December 14, 2021 #18 Share Posted December 14, 2021 @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?

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? heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
