Finito, ende, terminé, game over... Mr. Monk would be proud and happy how we rounded the final number at the very last minute federations send their list of nominated and qualified athletes to our NOC. Friday morning the 21st, the General Assembly of slovak NOC will meet to the approval session where the entire delegation is expected to be approved and accepted. So until then "unofficially" 50 (37+13) Ice Hockey 25 (25+0) Biathlon 8 (4+4) Alpine Skiing 5 (2+3) Cross-Country Skiing 5 (2+3) Luge 5 (4+1) Bobsleigh 1 (0+1) Snobowboarding (Park&Pipe) 1 (0+1) More to come this Friday after the General Nomination Assembly...

So since there no action since this morning, I contacted our federation. Response: Thank you for your information. Sure we will will use this quota, already working for the acceptance process. sometimes, I swear, if there no Totallympics ...

Full list of quotas and nominated athletes was posted by the FIL today: https://www.fil-luge.org/cdn/uploads/fil-luge-qualification-list.pdf declines their quota in women’s singles, which went to either declined their quota in men’s singles, or were never awarded one, thus giving a second quota in men’s singles. I think the FIL interpreted their qualification document different than we had in mind. “If there are still remaining quota places that are not filled after applying D.2, quota places will be allocated to the next highest ranked eligible athlete/doubles team from an NOC that has not earned a quota place according to D.1…” My guess, based off the allocations made, would be that the FIL interpreted this rule as only unqualified NOCs could earn a quota through D.3. That would explain why and were seemingly passed over for men’s and women’s singles quota respectively. This clause explains how got that second quota in this case: “If there are still remaining quota places that are not filled after applying D.3.1, quota places will be allocated to the NOC with the next highest ranked eligible athlete/doubles team…” Edit: This would also be the reason didn’t get a men’s singles quota.

Then Brazil's chances for a third women's ticket could have possibly improved due to nobody contacting the Slovaks and Sara Ponya?

I think we've rejected more quotas than the Netherlands this cycle . Does anyone know if we'll end up returning them or if they'll just become wasted quotas?

Latvian team confirmed. 57 athletes.

I am shocked, this is pathetic. Just 2 skiers, almost same as some tropical countries.

Just discovered link of Road to Oregon. I think it's the first time in the history when Olympic results account for following WCH .... https://worldathletics.org/stats-zone/road-to/7137279?eventId=10229630

Team Croatia Women Valentina Aščić (500 m, 1500 m) Yes, apparently we have received a reallocation for the 1500 m. Phew. It would have been pretty lame to debut in the sport and then having everything wrapped up after heats of the shortest distance. No idea who declined.

Denmark should field a team of 62 athletes in 5 different sports. They are the 5th reserve in men's skeleton and the 3rd reserve in two-man bobsleigh but it's unlikely that they'll get those quotas. Denmark: 62 Alpine Skiing: 1 Biathlon: 1 Curling: 10 Ice Hockey: 48 Speed Skating: 2

currently has 214 athletes qualified for Beijing. Alpine - 12* Biathlon - 8 Bobsleigh - 18 Cross-Country 9 Curling - 12 Figure skating - 13 Freestyle skiing -32 Hockey - 48 Luge - 6 Short track - 10 Skeleton - 3 Ski jumping - 4 Snowboarding - 23* Speed skating - 16 Canada stands to gain three reallocation in snowboarding atm, one in the women's halfpipe, and one each in the PGS events (which would put Canada at the maximum in the sport), which would increase the team to 217 athletes. Canada is assured of another women's quota in alpine (Netherlands and Liechtenstein will reject), so that brings it too 218. If another thee ahead decline, Canada would get a further two women. Not sure if all we be accepted. So Canada's final team size should be anywhere from 214-220, which ofc is less than the 224 in PyeongChang.

I don't think they know what they are talking about. In half-pipe and slopestyle/big air the quotas they rejected show as, well, rejected. They specifically accepted a re-allocation quota in PGS while other countries rejected them. Either they are incompetent or different factions of the organization are at war with each other...

Meanwhile, if there is one natiom that might genuinly forget to check their reallocations, it's .

V posledných hodinách pribudla pre výpravu ešte jedna miestenka v behu na lyžiach. O nominácii bude rozhodovať výkonný výbor Slovenského olympijského a športového výboru a následne ju musí ešte schváliť valné zhromaždenie SOŠV, ktoré sa uskutoční v piatok 21. januára dištančnou formou. Športovci až definitívnym schválením získajú istotu olympijského štartu. V stredu akceptoval Slovenský olympijský a športový výbor ďalšiu miestenku pre krajinu v bežeckom lyžovaní. „Po otvorení druhého kola rozdeľovania miesteniek sme dostali možnosť nominovať ďalšiu bežkyňu na lyžiach, ktorú sme po konzultácii so Zväzom slovenského lyžovania aj využili. Vo výprave by tak malo byť päťdesiat športovcov,“ informoval športový riaditeľ SOŠV Roman Buček. Miesto vo výprave by mala dostať po potvrdení príslušnými orgánmi účastníčka zimných olympijských hier mládeže 2020 Kristína Sivoková, ktorá sa v bežeckom lyžovaní pridá ku kolegyniam Alene Procházkovej a Barbore Klementovej. Celkovo by sa tak v súťažiach pod záštitou Medzinárodnej lyžiarskej federácie na olympijských tratiach v Jen-čchingu a Čang Ťia-kchou malo predstaviť päť bežcov na lyžiach. Medzi mužmi sa predstavia navrátilec Peter Mlynár a Ján Koristek. Najskúsenejšími členmi bežeckej výpravy budú Peter Mlynár, ktorý ukončil po Pchjogčchangu kariéru, no rozhodol sa minulú zimu pre návrat a dokázal sa kvalifikovať na svoje štvrté hry v rade, ešte viac účastí má Alena Procházková, ktorá bude súťažiť už na svojej piatej Olympiáde. Premiéru zažila ešte v Turíne 2006. Barbora Klementová si dá Olympijské repete po premiérovej účasti pred štyrmi rokmi v Kórei. Na Koristeka a Sivokovú čakajú prvé Zimné Olympijské Hry v kariére.

We have strategically announced three reserves even before this quota became available Guess we'll find out soon who the lucky winner is

And they took only one. are now offered extra spots. Poland will accept.

you are right about this. But I didn't count that precise at this stage since China doesn't release the list yet (but we all know she will be selected for all these events). To be more accurate, it could be 169, one female curling athlete may attend both women's team and mixed team. Anyway I will update when it's confirmed.

actually selected Josefin! No way. https://www.instagram.com/p/CY39IzBIhbY/ Apparently there is no age limit on the 'future criteria' as long as it's your first Olympics. https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/26-arig-konstakare-os-uttagen-som-framtidsnamn-inget-alderskrav

Hahahaha, most definitely! I'll ask the Dutch NOC to send her the itinerary.

Team Vlhovákia ehm.. Team Slovakia, sorry... has annouced its final roster and program Petra will not compete in the Team Event, she will start (hopefully barring covid & injuries disaster) in 4 events (Slalom, Giant Slalom, Alpine Combined and maybe (still not entirely decided at some 75 %) also in the Super-G. The other girls are Petra Hromcová and Rebeka Jančová, both will start in SL, GS, SG and Team Event. Among Men, no surprise the Žampa bros will use the spots. Adam in SL, GS and Team Event. The younger Andreas in SL, GS, SG and Team Event.

HOO objavio da je stigla pozivnica za 1500 m u short tracku.

It is amazing how we as public can check so many Olympic updates and know info earlier then some media. Speaking of quota, reallocations, etc. And not only winter games but also summer games, e.g. Judo, Badminton, Athletics, etc But I remember couple Olympic back it wasn't like that. Does anybody remember when FIS or other organizations started showing all these Olympic quota and allocation information to public? For me, big thumb up, hope all organisations of Olympic sports will be doing this in the future ...

What would really annoy me is that if the NZOC don't select Campbell Wright to Beijing then I hope like heck he chooses the USA for future events. 1, He'd get much better support and 2, He won't have to rely on money since he's done it all on his own with no financial assistance from NZ Sport. He's had to find his own coach, borrowed skis etc. Is practically handicapped even before the start line. There's already people in NZ demanding him he go and are putting pressure on the NZOC. If the NZOC can select a no hope Freestyle skier Margaux Hackett who struggles to make top 20 let alone top 16 most of the time and had a few fluke top 10s. Who I guarantee won't make a final of her event, well that reeks of favoritism. It sucks, and I'm not holding out hope he'll be selected. I just hope if he doesn't he goes and skis for the US in the future. At least they'll look after him. I do hope I'm wrong though.

Just realized that it's probably good for Canada that is sending their four man team, given Ivo de Bruin is the husband of driver Christine de Bruin. Only way to get family to come along xD

for sure at least 1 (Sildaru) let say decent Chance for Zubo in GS also a crazy M Slalom can end by some CRO surprise here very slim chance in M Biathlon, but definitely not impossible upset in the Individual

I think Johaug or Karlsson. Voted for Johaug.
