Hong Kong might do it in figure skating too. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto 4,236 Posted November 13, 2016 #15 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Other Asian countries debuting at the 2017 Asian Winter Games: Vietnam Cambodia Sri Lanka (I know this athlete is a young cross-country skier with a Czech/Sri Lankan bg, so maybe he will qualify. However no FIS details yet). Edited November 13, 2016 by intoronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,236 Posted November 13, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Oh and how could we forget Kosovo, they are likely to qualify at least one alpine skier. Adding a couple more to the list: Madagascar has an alpine skier who is a bit behind in qualification points, but he is on the same club that qualified the country's first and only Winter Olympian in 2006. Senegal: one female alpine skier is quite behind in qualification points, I doubt she qualifies, but there is always a chance.

None of their athletes are likely to get through. Tucker Murphy retired after Sochi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this time we have a good prospect of having more than 1 competitor for the first time since Salt Lake City. Schleper is the strongest card to qualify in Alpine, but sthe spot could also be taken by Jocelyn McGillivray who competed this year in YOG. For the first time we have a decent competitor in Freestyle, Robby Franco who came 6th in Sloepstyle at the last World Championships. Sandra Hillen could try to qualify again in this discipline as well as Fernando Soto in Snowboard Cross. Also we could the return of a Mexican figure skater, with Donovan Carrillo showing great improvement at this year's Jr. Grand Prix competitions. hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
