Meaning Romania.

This quota is a true miracle, if you consider that we use a old bob that was hidden nearly 2 years in the garage and the guys started to think about competing in this sport only this September and had their first training run only few weeks later. Some of them never sat in a sled before !

The Dutch quota not being used was 99,99% certain, but Slovakia? Damn, @hckosice must be heartbroken

No, that's not what this means. It means that NED and SVK have received unused quotas (from unused continental spots).

 

There are 3 continental quotas in each event and only one was used here (Australia).
