Really?

 

Switzerland and Germany are almost permanent fixtures here, and they too failed to qualify. Besides, the field has been reduced from 24 to 22 duets.

History for Liechtenstein.

 

A microstate qualifying in an event like this (with fully home-grown athletes) is rocket science, but apparently possible.

Oh wow what an accomplishment!

Last time Germany qualified for the Olympics was 1992.

Right. Germany. But Switzerland still qualified every time save 1996.

 

And with 22 duets on board, Slovakia would not have qualified in 2016 either.

Because they were the 23rd qualifiers out of 24 teams.
