Yes, more about her here.

 

She was highly competitive in Calgary in November. :d

Oh come on...I mean, I'm all for spreading a sport, but it would just be unfair if she goes and someone like Gilardoni/Flock/Priedulena/Meylemans wouldn't go..

And that's where Netherlands comes in. They have 2 athletes, if only one gets to go then none of the mentioned names will miss out.

 

The main problem is too few quotas. Women's skeleton is no longer that obscure. They'll probably increase it for the next time, but probably, sadly at the expense of men's skeleton, because that's how IOC operates...

Yes, for the strength of the competition it's pure luck that one of the two Dutch athletes won't make it. And to think women's skeleton has a higher number of realistic podium contenders than men's skeleton..

Yes, she needs to race at least 5 races on 3 different tracks to be eligible as an athlete. Otherwise, Nigeria is already guaranteed the African quota place.

      I am assuming the FIS will fight very hard to keep it.   From a substainability standpoint it also really doesn’t make that much sense to axe Nordic combined as long as ski jumping is in the games anyway. For the same reason that all three sliding sports are basically a package that will live and die together.

      I think Fialkova is 2nd on the World Cup all-time list for most podiums without a win.  Olena Petrova still leads there and  Marie-Laure Brunet is 3rd IIRC but I need to check that.

      I can’t see it being kept. Unless some very important  people have asked for it.

      I hope they keep it. Even though the sport doesn't exist in Slovakia at all, it's still very exciting to watch.

      will miss this stage because of the Middle East war, since the flights with Qatar Airways have been cancelled and can't be replaced in time (especially for the bicycles)
