So, there's place for 12 north korean hockey players but IOC can't make room for a usual World Cup competitor from a small and exotic country with no other competitors at this game. Sometimes IOC is dificult to understand for me. If there are cases where the rules "can" be break are cases like this one.

 

 

Also, why is the men's skeleton field so big? Is not like this is a sport werethe women are not competitive.

More like the IBSF allowing Nigeria to compete ranked much lower. SO if she can qualify why not ISV?

African quotas in Skeleton/Bobs are a joke. It's a risky sport to be giving quotas to athlete with no much international competition just because there's no oke more on this continent....

If I could I would increase the women's field to 30 and cut the maximum entries per country in some of the skiing events from 4 to 3

In freestyle/snowboard is the most obvious for me, 3 per country should be the maximum.

Even then, the rules were adjusted to remove athletes from countries already qualified. SO how does ISV not get a quota then, if she was ranked higher than Nigeria?

And where is Elena Nikitina? IOC is afraid that she will win a medal? Or because Cathy Uhlander from US doesnt like Nikitina?

They should have the same reallocation criteria as luge, meaning that ISV would get priority over JPN/ROU as they were still unrepresented in skeleton...

 

And yeah, I'd advise ISV to start making nuclear weapons before 2022.

    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA
    • Swedish sprint results:   women: 1. Sundling 2. Dahlqvist 3. Hagström 4. Ribom 5. Svahn 6. Lundgren   men: 1. Anger 2. Grate 3. Danielsson 4. McKeever (CAN) 5. Skoglund 6. Grahn
    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues. 
    • Anyway...let's hope that this is the last time this year we see a brownfield competition!  
    • But if you go to her Instagram, you also get the impression that she is more of a celebrity than a volleyball player.
