She crashed and hurt her shoulder and was advised to rest it or else it could affect her musical career. Luckily Thailand have another female skier who can compete. FIS points from the second Thai are much better than what Mae ever achieved. This all sounds like Mae's excuse / coverup story. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted January 22, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Briliant job from FIS. They have went step further and we'll be able to see how NOCs are confirming quotas. https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/olympic-quotas-list.html?sectorcode=al&listid=2018 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted January 22, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Here we go. Denmark already declined women's spot, while have already confirmed all of their places. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted January 22, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 22, 2018 France confirmed all of their 19 quotas. Croatia refused the Team event quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasit 849 Posted January 22, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 22, 2018 On what basis would you decline any quota? Isn't participating at the OG alone worth something anymore? konig 1 Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would wait for Croatia a bit. They were one of the first to accept quotas, before that team event column even appeared... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant understand this either, things of countrys who dont apreciate to participate in the Olympic Games like they qualify easily their athletes.

Isn't participating at the OG alone worth something anymore? Because plenty of major countries don't want to send athletes without realistic chances of finishing at least in decent positions (I would perfectly understand Norway, Germany, USA etc not sending an alpine skier who never really came close to the top-20 for example). It's different for smaller countries.
