well, thats unfortunate.

 

I think the world ranking quotas are for names not NOCs so I do not think other dane can replace him, or maybe I am wrong ?

It is for the NOC. However you have to be ranked high enough to be eligible.

Just watched in our TV news Richard Varga so disappointed :cry: real heartbreaker. Explaining how he missed the qualification with that already mentioned stupid DSQ in Leeds (swimming in front of everybody else as usual and turned the buoy from the wrong side) and that finish in Mexico where he lost the quota by literally 6 seconds (exactly 4 places)

 

Now he´ll stay in Slovakia, (he was informed to stay prepared as being the first reserve for any eventual reallocation that can be announced from any time now until 1 week before the Olympic race,... however he personally does not believe it will happen) and continue to train individually but will have hard time to find the moral strength to continue his career, if it will be in vain...

Any news about that eventual returning quota ?

Apparently Canada will only allow the two women qualified to race in the relay (tbc)

That’s allowed?

 Triathlon Canada is slowly becoming the IWF of NFs in Canada.

The relay is a sprint triathlon while the individual race is standard triathlon. While there is a lot of athlete overlap between the two types, I can see an athlete who is better in one only competing in a single event.

 

With that said, I don't think limiting our women to just the relay event will increase our medal chance by a lot.

It’s also a slap in the face to every woman who was on the verge of qualifying in the individual event.

Worth noting that an official at Triathlon Canada was recently sanctioned due to a Safe Sport violation…

    • you don't even have idea how it works   last week he was the best of the field and now he's in bad shape?   on Friday he was 24th despite 4 (4!!!!!) missed shots and Yesterday he suddenly went out of shape?   be serious!   he either just had bad skis or he got sick, like many other athletes (see Vittozzi)   the snow in LGB is usually shit, results are always heavily influenced by that and Italy is one of the teams that usually struggle a lot in that place   nothing new and nothing to be worried about

    • Festival of Music   For this year’s Festival of Music I thought I would change it up a bit. Since we are approaching the festive holiday season, I want you all to post some festive songs from your country. If you don’t celebrate Christmas then perhaps some other song that has a special place in your heart during an important celebration.     I’m going to start with a Christmas song from Ireland’s TISC Annual 2023 representatives Picture This.     Picture This - This Christmas  
    • pair Danilova/Tsiba hasn't fulfilled the national criteria to participate in the Games but their skating federation has sent a request to the national olympic committee for an exception and to include them to the TeamNL. https://www.schaatsen.nl/nieuws/knsb-dient-verzoek-in-voor-olympisch-startbewijs-danilova-tsiba/
    • Juniors were there recently and the track was awful   Although that's not necessarily bad. Tracks don't all need to be fast, a slow track (like the horribly slow one in Poland) simply favors a different style of athletes. Training a lot there doesn't really give much extra advantage though, not like in sliding sports where of course as host country you make sure your athletes know every single meter a year before the Olympics.    And to get back on topic: speed skater Elisa Dul broke her tibia and fibula in a training fall yesterday and will obviously be out of the OQT and so the Olympics. 
    • The PSL race in Davos was (yet another) insult to a beautiful discipline. The red course (which was actually yellow) had several holes and an exposed ice sheet, which made the athletes slide way too long, causing DNFs or massive time losses. The only positive note is that Caffont won despite racing on the more dangerous course in the final
