Current Olympic Qualification Quotas after 4/7 World Cup Stops:
 
Two-Man/Four-Man:
 
3 Sleds:
2 Sleds:
1 Sled:
 
Two-Woman:
 
3 Sleds:
2 Sleds:
1 Sled:
 
Women's Monobob:
 
3 Sleds:
2 Sleds:
1 Sled:

It was always going to be hard to hang on to the 3rd men's sled but not qualifying 3 women's sleds would definitely be disappointing.

We lost 6 quotas in the bobsleigh rankings this weekend. 

Looks like a big battle for 2 second quotas in men`s singles. After the big 5 () 2 second quotas are at the stake.
 
According to my calculations 2nd best athletes:
 - 55
 - 37
 - 35
 - 33

Broken nose and tweaked hamstring for Hallie Clarke in Sigulda.

Here’s my guess at the team size in each event. 
 
Women
Ski Cross (4), depending on Marielle Thompson and Courtney Hoffos, if one of them will be missing out on the Olympics then maybe -1
Halfpipe (4), Amy Fraser, Dillian Glennie, Cassie Sharpe, and Rachael Karker (depending on injury) 
Big Air/Slopestyle (3), Naomi Urness, Olivia Asselin, Megan Oldham/Elena Gaskell (we’ll see if Oldham is healthy and ready in time)
Moguls (3), Maia Schwinghammer, Berkley Brown, and one of Jessica Linton/Ashley Koehler
Aerials (2), Marion Thenault (injury depending), and Charlie Fontaine/Alexandra Montminy
 
Men
Slopestyle/Big Air (3), Dylan Deschamps, Alexander Henderson, Max Moffatt
Ski Cross (4), Reece Howden, Jared Schmidt, Kris Mahler, Kevin Drury
Halfpipe (3), Brendan MacKay, Andrew Longino, Dylan Marineau
Aerials (3), Lewis Irving, Alexandre Duchaine, Miha Fontaine
Moguls (3), Mikael Kingsbury, Julien Viel, Eliot Vailancourt

Does anyone want to take a stab at which quotas Canada will decline in freestyle skiing?

I still refuse to use riders for anything other than cycling or equestrian. 

The Canadian men having 2 quotas, while not competing at the World Cups, is something interesting 

5th for Luke Hulshof in the junior men’s 10km sprint at the Val Martello Junior IBU World Cup!

Bronze for Andrew Longino at the Copper Mountain Halfpipe WC!

Another gold for Reece Howden! 4th place also for Jared Schmidt.

Kinda wild how the Canadian Open turned into Japanese Nationals on the women's side. 
 
Three Japanese rinks, and the Swiss made it to the semi's... Homan and Einarson both bowing out in the quarters

Another name to the ever-growing list of injuries for the Canadian team… used to be excited for the Olympics, now not so much…
