Lol this what I think happened too

Yea very odd. And this screws JJA out of a 7th Olympics.

Canada announced its snowboarding team but only one per gender in pgs was announced...weird.

Is there more room on the charter flight?

in women's and in men's accepted PGS reallocation quotas... meaning both events are now full.

I wouldn't be surprised if they select all 3.

the event will be held with less than 25 participants, even though there are athletes in the top 60 (like the men) that could fill it. Any word if Katie will be appealing @Olympian1010

My bad I was looking at the first row and thought they had rejected quotas (and wouldn't be eligible for a reallocation). The halfpipe rejection must have jsut come in, didn't see it when I wrote my post

currently has 214 athletes qualified for Beijing. Alpine - 12* Biathlon - 8 Bobsleigh - 18 Cross-Country 9 Curling - 12 Figure skating - 13 Freestyle skiing -32 Hockey - 48 Luge - 6 Short track - 10 Skeleton - 3 Ski jumping - 4 Snowboarding - 23* Speed skating - 16 Canada stands to gain three reallocation in snowboarding atm, one in the women's halfpipe, and one each in the PGS events (which would put Canada at the maximum in the sport), which would increase the team to 217 athletes. Canada is assured of another women's quota in alpine (Netherlands and Liechtenstein will reject), so that brings it too 218. If another thee ahead decline, Canada would get a further two women. Not sure if all we be accepted. So Canada's final team size should be anywhere from 214-220, which ofc is less than the 224 in PyeongChang.

Some of the bigger nations might also have athletes in multiple events and that would leave no room for additional quotas to compete.

From someone I worked with in the past: positive test of covid in one of the hotels housing staff for thr Olympics in one of the mountain clusters.

You used the provincial flags, just so you could use the New Brunswick flag right?

Insane...

Inb4 they send too many skiers to Beijing and have to turn back some like what happened with their swimmers in Tokyo

I believe they are being relaxed with the standards due to Covid-19

btw its amazing to realize that only 4!! countries have won golds in this sport at the Olympics (all versions of Germany = 1). Just wow.

jfc.... they must be reading our posts and said "lets troll the Croatians" lmao

After all that drama lol..

Slowly becoming the new Netherlands /s

Canada won't bow out. They named two alternates as well and will take them if given a quota

Team Canada Natalie Corless (Vancouver, BC)Trinity Ellis (Pemberton, BC)Makena Hodgson (Calgary, AB) Justin Snith (Calgary, AB) - DoublesTristan Walker (Cochrane, AB) - DoublesReid Watts (Whistler, BC) - Singles

Keeping in mind the 55 is a reduced number

Canada declined 5 moguls quotas... wow. Did not expect that at all

Ireland officially declined 2 quotas. Looks like 9 men's quotas will be reallocate.
