The IBU updated their time frame for which results count towards the wild card olympic spots, and it looks like Dolidovich has moved into a qualifying position. Looking more and more likely like there will be a refugee olympic team for the first time at the Winter games.

I agree it is stupid, exactly what happened to Jozef Ninis last week.

FIS has already published what happens here: https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/v2/quota/list/owg/cc/2026 They basically continued giving quotas from where they stopped back in March. So in Men's it was  then  then  , in women's it was  ,  

Dolidovich had her best result yet today, she may have a real shot at the olympics as a refugee entry.

7 nationality changes in view of the 2026 Olympics.  lost four athletes out of the 7

Anyways this confirms the nationality change for the  skier, and he should now qualify. @evil betty

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. 

I think the qualifying document says which are the last assigned quotas: D.2.2; the fifth assigned quota for teams who qualified in relay. That comes after the distance quotas. So according to your qualifications the lowest ranked (points) to receive the 5th quotas are:   all from the women's side. Not 100% on this, but it follows the order that they give. Depending on whether you think distance allocation is completed in D.2.1. or D.2.3.

oh i see. I wondered if there was something wrong with the doubles or something.

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

Nicolas Claveaux-Laviolette, who competed for  until this season, should make it easily.

Now wordle is a fun game and all but I don't think you can get olympic qualification points from playing it

Kristun Gudnadottir  had a 265.65 yesterday in Olos in sprint, not sure how much that helps. I think in 2022 the reallocation went 15 spots down so maybe, so maybe just teasing again. Or maybe with this new format there is less likelihood of that many reallocations, not sure.

Take a look at what someone did here for Tennis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_at_the_2024_Summer_Olympics_–_Qualification. Seems like it should work for you.

Those ten quotas go to NOCs who have not earned a quota yet, so they would have to have a WC result of less than 300 fis points. So you would have to guess who still out there is capable. After that the unfilled quotas go into reallocation: so men it is the top of the list down from the qualification standings, women would start at 6th (where they left off filling up to the max). look here https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/v2/quota/list/owg/cc/2026 for detailed list is who is up next.

Add  in the mens as well, Troy Chang made it this morning.   just missed, both Mini and Stacchini are right on the doorstep.

the next time the FIS updates it's olympic qualification tables there will be some new men's nations:  ,  , and   all made the standard.  has two male competitors very close as well. It looks to me like those quotas will be taken from  and  but I am not certain.

Henry Rivers of  had a good result today in Dubai. I think good enough to qualify for the olympics but have to wait for FIS points to be posted.

very late replying, thank you very much for all the information I really appreciate it. 

Seregina came 6th in the 500m in 2022 I think, right behind Boutin in the semi. Otherwise no idea.
