You might notice that there's only 33 quotas assigned in the women's 1500m. That's because after the initial assignment of quotas, there were 115 quotas which is 3 over the limit. According to the qualification system, the 1500m distances are the last events to assign quotas since they have a max quota of 36 instead of 32. For the men's event, France, Hungary, and Ukraine have the last spots and removing them wouldn't affect the quota totals. Therefore unfortunately, I had to remove one quota from Croatia, Hong Kong and Poland to get the total to 112. We'll see what the NOC does about all this. If anyone actually knows the correct procedures, please comment below.

Yes I will certainly be extending the deadline into next week. The Grand Final won’t be happening this side of New Year so there is room to extend the voting deadline. Expect an update on Friday but for sure if you need more time to listen then you have my blessing that the deadline will be extended

Just a reminder, on December 7 at 9:45am PST is the mixed relay at the Skimo WC in Solitude, we need to finish ahead of US to make our Olympic debut in the sport.

На Европско првенство у пливању у малим базенима, такмичење које озбиљне репрезентације користе као припремно за неке озбиљније митинге, ми идемо са 4 пливача. И ни један од њих не тренира у земљи, нема младих такмичара. Ови што су отишли су пре пар дана стигли из Америке, није одрађена никаква аклиматизација и припрема. И већ на старту резултати су катастрофални. Са оваквим начином боље је не учестовати. Полако али сигурно српско пливање следи своје колеге из гимнастичког савеза и постаје непостојећи спорт у Србији. Али кога брига за базне спортове. Битно је да жваљави и екипа упумпавају милионе у распале фудбалске клубове и Савез, граде се непотребни стадиони, доводе полуписмени афрички играчи и слично.

Semplicemente doro

I now realize that there's a chance we may only get 4 men's quotas. Altogether, the sum of all short track quotas is 115 which is 3 athletes over the quota limit and some quotes will need to be cut. If the IOC decides to have an equal split per gender, then we would lose a quota since Canada is the lowest ranked men's relay that has 5 athletes qualified.

Gold for Sarault in the women's 500! Bronze for Brunelle

Silver for Courtney Sarault in the 1500m

GOING TO THE OLYMPICS! Team Homan demolish Team Black 12-3 in game two of the best of three final after only eight ends and will wear the Team Canada jackets in Milano-Cortina, they’ve been the team to beat for years there’s no better representatives than them

Silver for William Dandjinou in the men’s 500m

Dylan Deschamps also wins silver in men’s big air.

Silver for Naomi Urness in women’s big air at the Secret Garden WC, wow First WC podium for her in her first final.

more surprises Today for what concerns , Today it was definitely a better day, but still not completely satisfying (Ferracuti's loss in the round of 16 hurts) Tomorrow the Para-Karate will be on stage in the morning, then in the afternoon it's time for the Quarterfinals and Semifinals in all the Kata and Kumite classes, in order to set up Sunday's big medal session

Ecuador and Venezuela have qualified one male athlete each. Both with their first quotas

Insane!!

Team Dunstone defeat Team McEwen 9-5 to advance to the men’s Olympic Trials final

Zlo je postavilo sve selektore, direktore, predsjednike, miješa se u rad crkve. Sport nam je ionako mrtav, Tomašević samo organizuje opelo.

RIP Eurovision. New show called "Palestinian genocide" is oficially sponsored by EBU. Main actor State of Israel. Official anthem "Love shine a light". Shame on you EBU, shame on all of you false european democracy and bigest shame on my own country Serbia who decide to stay on this political shit show. As European, I am proud on countries like Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and Iceland.

Stage 4 in Wisla (POL) Women´s Individual Large Hill: 1. Anna Odine Stroem 246.0 2. Abigail Strate 240.9 3. Nozomi Maruyama 236.9 Full Final Result HERE

I am happy to announce a significant extension to the voting deadline. Jury members now have until 21:00 GMT, Friday, December 12th to submit their votes. This adds a full week to the existing deadline so will hopefully ensure anyone struggling with time to get some much needed extra space to listen to the songs and submit their votes Since the Grand Final won't take place until after the New Year, we have some room to move the deadline to make it easier for everyone to get their votes in

Bump for the Luge World Cup starting this weekend, starting at Winterberg rather than Igls for technical reasons (lazy Austrians ). Since we are now going to Winterberg twice this season, this particular weekend will not count towards Olympic Quals, as discussed already, There has been some changes for us oldsters, so maybe a guide for beginners as well. Broadcasting Good and perhaps not so good news. There is a new deal with Discovery/Eurosport. All three days of the weekend are now being covered including the Friday races which usually are not shown. Unfortunately, not clear whether the FTA option via YouTube and/or the FIL Page will still exist, or will be geo-blocked. Hopefully also they will stick with the excellent commentary format of one pro comms person on-site paired with a willing volunteer from the non-competing athletes. Race formats There are four sets of races now. Nations Cup on Friday - the Qualifying races for the Saturday / Sunday World Cup. Top sleds are pre-qualified so don't take part here. Mixed Races on Friday - These races are for the smaller nations who don't have large enough teams to participate in the Team Relays. Nations can either compete as a pair or as single nation partnerships along the lines of old historic friendships like /, /, /, / etc. World Cup Races on Saturday and Sunday - The standard four formats of Men's Singles, Women's Singles, Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles Team Relay on Sunday - Always exciting relays races in which the big nations run one team from each of the WC formats. Unlike every other form of Winter Sports team event, this is the one in which it is quite normal for even the biggest and best teams to seriously mess up & either disqualify themselves or have some kind of significant time delay. Sprint races - Everyone hates them so hopefully they have been killed. Beer The race track at Winterberg is sponsored by a brewery and in the past winners have been given very large glasses of the product! Unfortunately, this is the alcohol-free version of the beer.

yeah but in field hockey you almost don't even need qualifiers...there are always the same teams 😈😬🤦

according to the Olympic website, both the winners of 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 seasons will earn direct berths to the Olympic Games in LA

Naomi Urness sits first overall in big air qualifying. Who is she!!!

Wierer wins by 0.3!!!

S pozitivne strane košarkaši su krenuli i više nego dobro u kvalifikacije za SP, pobjeda protiv CIpra i Izraela. U ovom trenu bi rekao da košarkašice imaju više šansi za OI nego rukometašice pogotovo ako su u punom sastavu, omjer 2-1 u prvom krugu kvala za EP (iznenađujuća pobjeda protiv Grčke na gostovanju ali isto tako i poraz od Danske, doduše bez vjerojatno dvije najbolje igračice Muhl i Zellous). Stolnoteniska ekipa krenula s pobjedama protiv Indije i Australije na novom natjecanju SP mixed teams koje će se koristiti na OI, slijedi prejaki Japan i onda križanje gdje ide nova grupa s top 8.

Tyler Tardi has been selected as the alternate for the men’s curling team.

the other consideration is that both genders may use the maximum. Last Olympic cycle they both were at (or below) maximums before additions for relay teams, previous to that the maximum number was higher. So it is possible that they may have to reduce by two male and one female specifically.

Limiting to 8 teams....is certainly a choice. Bizarre.

http://www.olympedia.org/ Now being updated again

10 quotas have officially been secured in short track with 3 quotas per individual event and all the relays.

Should mention that both William Dandjinou and Courtney Sarault won the crystal globes as the overall cup winners. Canada won the crystal globe for the best overall team.

OLYMPIC QUALIFIED!!! Team Jacobs beat Team Dunstone 6-5 in game 2 of the best-of-three men’s final at Olympic Trials, and will represent us in Milano-Cortina! Was rooting for Dunstone, but hard to be that sad at this. Team Jacobs is definitely our best chance at a medal.

If last year taught us anything, it's that the team knows how to peak when it matters most. Canada only won 3 medals at the final World Tour Stop last year and then won 10 at the World Championships.

86 (minus Kenya) countries have qualified as per the list on Wikipedia. and have also qualified in cross-country skiing bringing the total to 88. will almost assuredly qualify in biathlon. (a different athlete from above) all have alpine skiers chasing qualification. I think these three should be able to qualify. Bringing the total up to 93. i has a skeleton athlete on the bubble, but i think she will qualify, so 93 nations. 's athlete should easily qualify in freestyle skiing. Now up to 94. Now the what ifs? not sure if the FIS will intervene and allow him to compete. He also doesn't have enough races (I think?) have alpine skiers who just outside qualification, and I do not think they will be able to make it, same with in cross-country skiing. Also in cross-country skiing, but he didn't compete at the WC and I am unsure if he intends to. Countries with athletes potentially able to qualify but haven't competed this season (alpine skiing)

Sure is looking like we'll get handshakes after eight. Well, Canada's best team is going to the Olympics, hard to complain about that outcome.

It’s time for game two of Homan-Black, Homan one win away from making it back to her third consecutive Olympic Games.

FGD wins gold at the Grand Slam in Abu Dhabi! Klimkait was in fifth

He ended up finishing 4th, not bad.

This is incredible and very unexpected wow

Team Jacobs beat Team Dunstone 9-8 in a back and forth tussle to take game one of the men’s final at the Canadian Olympic Curling Trials

Wow, Homan holds on for the win. But the performance didn't exactly inspire confidence.

22 year old Alexander Henderson (anyone heard of him before) leads three Canadians in qualifying for the big air final with 91.00, Dylan Deschamps with 87.75 and Max Moffatt with 83.00!

so two new nations; and did enough in Dubai to earn quotas.
