Plus the penalty, which depends on which athletes are in the top-5. Not relevant today, because the men's penalty has already been set at 90, the women's at 120.
Not directly. They do count towards the standings in the 10k though. Say there are 70 athletes directly entering the 10k, plus 10 from the 7.5k today. Then whoever finishes 11th today, gets position 81 in the 10k result, and so on. At least that's how it worked 4 years ago.
The familiar names in men competition are:
Shabaan & Moataz Mohamed
Bereczki, Koleszar and Tamas
Morcia and surprisingly Valentine Belaud
Tovkai
Micheli and Cicinelli
Maruk
Cicinelli is the best ranked athlete in Paris Olympics who participate in this tournament (he finished 5th)
It doesn't matter what place they finish in as long as they finish with 300 or less FIS points in the race. This document describes the calculation process. In summary, the FIS points earned are dependent upon the winner's time, your own time, and a factor level for that race determined by FIS.
You can combine multidisciplinarity with a great medal result, like France in Paris 2024: they won almost twice as many medals as in Tokyo (64-33). If you are already organizing the games at home, use them to develop your sport. It`s easy.
Definitively the best possible outcome from a sporting standpoint. No disrespect to Spain or South Africa but neither are baseball nations, unlike Taiwan and especially Nicaragua.
