    Nope, the rules are clear, the quota are not nominative. Each NOC is free to send whichever athlete they want as long as they are < 150 IBUQP, which is not selective at all.

    Same applies for Korea. Frolina brings one quota but will not go to Beijing since she's pregnant. 

    So, instead Frolina, to Beijing will go another Korean, or next biathlete of the IBU points (Gabriela Lescinskaite)?

     

    Baiba Bendika got a quota for Latvia, but can go to OG for example, Sanita Bulita?

    Ziva's points are no problem at all. The minimum is under 150 IBU points and her total is 88.44 at the moment, so that's easily enough. The bigger question is: what about the much better placed Lena Repinc?!

    No, Slovenia haven't quota. Polona and Lena got a personal wild card.....
    If Slovenia take Ziva, she couldn't compete in Beijing.

    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.

    Your fears are unfounded. Of the NZ biathletes, only Campbell received invitation. The NOC of NZ can only approve or decline him.
