Alannah Yip and Sean McColl qualify for the OQS in women’s/men’s combined!

Men’s rugby team ended the year as a disappointment though. The rowers should have won. Criminally underrated

Canada wins the junior b title after a shocking first loss all qualify for the A championships in February.

I wonder if the email went to junk.

Same thing happened to in Margaret Thatcher's time. Everyone had been lying about the economy for decades, but even now she still gets the blame because she started to tell the truth.

The difference is that Milei is being honest about the mess that Argentina is in, whereas the Peronists have been lying for decades.

Well, so much talk about recording longer ski flying mark than men and now she cites "lack of motivation". She probably realized her best days are behind her and the youngsters will repeatedly beat her.

Next version will probably be short track/long track speed skating.

I was going to post something about them tomorrow. It shows you what an honest investment into winter sports can achieve though (at least at the youth level).

It really sucks too, since we’re finally seeing some non-traditional NOCs put some earnest investment into the sliding and skating sports/disciplines. I do wonder how long that will last if they don’t see some return on investment?

I wouldn’t be shocked the see the number of participating NOCs shrink between 2022 and 2026. There are less quotas available and the qualification requirements in alpine skiing have increased in difficulty. It would be a nice surprise to see more non-traditional NOCs at the Games, but it doesn’t feel like the conditions are right to encourage or facilitate their participation in 2026. Hopefully my prediction is wrong though.

They only won 2 at Beijing 2022, so wouldn’t be that surprising.

Here's what I saw https://radiojamaicanewsonline.com/sports/swiss-sprinter-alex-wilson-implicated-in-fbi-anti-doping-investigation

Maren Lundby (ski jumping) announced retirement due to lack of motivation. https://www.nrk.no/sport/nrk-erfarer_-maren-lundby-legger-opp-1.16683051

Welsh Sports Person of the Year - Emma Finucane (Cycling)

didn't accept its women's snowboard quota in time (FIS chart says they didn't receive a response) They'll need to accept a reallocation in another discipline if they want to send athletes to the Games @intoronto

are now eligible for a reallocations in alpine skiing. might miss out by two spots @intoronto

We also saw a decrease from 2018 to 2022. More than likely numbers will dip
