2 women sled is now on the entry list, up to 21 teams in that event.

THe award for the most shady organization: COC

Sorry to hear this, best wishes for a full recovery for @brunamoura

+4 for Canada in snowboarding. Final team size should be 215. @Benolympique

Looks like Canada has reaccepted 4 of the 5 quotas it declined in PGS. 3 Of the 4 athletes who stand to go now all posted they are going to the Olympics 3 days ago on Instagram. Now I think the federation did not want to send them, these 4 appealed and it ruled in the favour. There has been no word from the COC or Snowboard Canada. This is all strange and bizarre. Ranks at the top for me for weird team selection stories. Congrats to the athletes and this brings Canada back to the second largest team.

Who from the Caymans did you predict to qualify?

Canada's first batch has left Vancouver for Beijing including the women's hockey team among others.

Spain 12 (Some random bids with Spain)

Yea I agree The Look is not that great.

Just one minor fix... Curling has 12 not 9.

If the IBSF was smart they would maximize their quotas because they are now going to lose them in 2026. Could easily invite the first four in women's monobob to compete..

Are we sure refused a quota? https://focustaiwan.tw/sports/202201190016 " Two more athletes are currently on a reserve waiting list and will know if they qualify for the Winter Olympics by Saturday, the Sports Administration said." Surely these are the speed skaters "

Wow this is shocking!

I am sure she and team did work behind the scenes as well

Andorra said no athletes will be at the opening ceremony as well.

Wow Eric Staal is on Canada's team! - Via the Athletic

I wrote the IBSF a strongly worded email saying how unfair it was. Got a reply today saying they will look into it and now look. When there is a will there is a way. Good luck to Katie!

So Ghana and Jamaica are likely out then ?

Looks like we have our first athlete to test positive: https://www.beijing2022.cn/wog/wap.htm#/20220124001816/20220124001816

If anyone is interested, this is how the FIS released quotas in 2010: https://web.archive.org/web/20110604013119/http://www.fis-ski.com/data/document/olympic-winter-games-2010-vancouver-quota-list-18th-jan-2010.pdf There was no "live updates" iirc.

Top 10 ranked countries in the ranking qualify. Not sure which month.

Germany, Canada and Andorra (probably more) have had issues with the FIS list, so I think its a FIS issue.
