Does a country really need 11 athletes? Maybe 9 should be enough... 4 for technical and 4 for speed, along with a floater

Bizarre. Now down to 90 countries and likely for the first time in a while (or ever) we will see less countries at a WOG vs the previous edition She just competed this past weekend as well...odd choice.

Now we wait for to decline in bobsled

Canada's 4th male athlete would be Remi Drolet.

Wait so Czech has been offered a quota? Or you are just assuming

She is injured unfortunately: https://instagram.com/p/CYhK91wBDzp/

This should be the last games with Ski Cross having that limit. FIS is in the process of moving it under the alpine banner (which in theory means they can send as much as they want)

Well there is drama in Ireland: https://www.independent.ie/news/two-irish-skiers-make-last-gasp-appeal-after-association-unexpectedly-decides-not-to-send-them-to-winter-olympics-41245990.html @dodge

Netherlands accepted both quotas !?! @heywoodu

Ibu gave the men two extra quotas... trolling the Ioc

decline two women's ski cross quotas.

becomes the first country to decline a quota (its only one, a men's). is next in line and we are down to 57 countries in cross country

Fingers crossed to get at least one more male athlete for Canada (wishlist is one 10 total, 5 per gender)

is first country to decline a quota (it declined one of its two male quotas). Next country in line is

Absolutely ridiculous. The men are allowed to be in the top 60 but the women top 45 only? What kind of gender equality is this? I feel really bad for the athlete. Always being screwed by her governing body. @Olympian1010

will decline their women's quota (I believe she suffered a career ending injury in 2020)

won!!!

Is the Shangai Grand Prix a part of the World CUp?

I meant retaliation as in like a blanket ban on Australians. The IOC has already warned Serbia (for refusing entry to the Kosovo team for some event) and it might lead to loss of future hosting rights/suspension.

I wonder if this Canada's first ever individual medal?

Although this was a complete shit show... I doubt Serbia will retaliate. They are already on thin ice with the IOC

She is, as she was part of Canada's junior team and switched.

lol makes 0 sense... and the FIS has not been including people with less than 5 results on their tracker.... so I think he has 0 chance. However, in 2014, and were given quotas even though they didn't hit the intended 140 points or less (they were both just outside), so who knows. went onto decline that quota ofc.
