Not without some promise though, to be fair. It's not exactly the heyday of Canadian XC skiing, but I'd say there's hope.

Ya the men’s team in particular is promising. It’s just very much not the kind of team we had over the last two decades.

This is the A team, lol.

 

Léveillé is likely our next "Harvey".

That's when the drama starts.  Nations will be accepting/declining quotas in real time, from what I can remember from before Pyeongchang.

Oh boy. I didn't pay much attention four years ago, but I will try to do so now (for cross-country at least, I don't think I have the mental energy to focus on anything besides that ).

 

I wonder what it will all look like during this process. Like, will there at some point for example be a green bar or something over a country that has accepted X spots? Or a red one over a country which has accepted only part of their spots? Who knows!

 

And if I'm not mistaken, the process to reallocate any unused spots will start Wednesday (and basically finish the same or next day), so I assume after Tuesday we'll have a list of unused spots, if any..

If it’s like the last time, the chart will show the initial allocated quota. A green dot means that the allocated quota has been accepted as offered (meaning none were rejected), a yellow dot will show if more quotas have been allocated than there are athletes eligible for (I think it also may show if the number of quotas accepted by a nation was less than originally allocated (ie some were rejected)), a red dot should show of a nation has rejected all quotas.
