Sarah Douglas retires.

Chinese media reported they earned 9 quotas, so this appears to be right.

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

Not a good start to the season, the women finish 6th in Dubai

Women win silver at the Americas 3x3 Championships. The Men finish fourth

I seem to remember w never qualify a full team in every event, so this is good news.

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

Maybe Brad Gushue

They have to get it out of the system (falling and flopping) before the Olympics.

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)

Of note, Bouchards's qualification score of 93.25 was the highest in the competition.

Mens relay drops in the semi

Looks like passed for the final quota in the women's relay for the Olympics.

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

Nicolas Laframboise withdrew from the final

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

Insane!!

Canada is only sending Katherine Stewart-Jones to the first three world cups.

Tucker Murphy is also on the WC start list. Could surprise and get a quota

Devaang Gupta has switched to compete for India. Arguably our second best archer.

Ornella OETTL REYES is on the start list for an event in Austria. She should be able to get Peru a quota in alpine skiing.

Just curious on who everyone thinks would be the best mens team to represent Canada?

French media are reporting the Organizing Committee will submit Cyclocross, Cross Country, Trail running and Gravel for inclusion (Not sure if actual winter sports will also be put forward)

Colleen Jones, two time World champion has passed away. She was one of the more recognizable curlers in Canada. She will be missed.
