These ones should be safe to joining them: - Has an athlete in qualification position in Freestyle skiing (halfpipe), but needs to meet the minimum FIS points total - Should easily qualify in biathlon - Appears they have an athlete in qualification position in alpine skiing, but not on the FIS' list. Perhaps a citizenship issue, which in theory should be fixed before the games - Should qualify in alpine skiing These countries are just outside qualification position and need better results to qualify - Alpine skiing - Alpine skiing ( and could qualify in Bobsleigh as well) - Alpine skiing - Skeleton - Skeleton - Women's monobob - with the field size at worlds really low, its possible one of their athletes sneaks in. - Figure skating Pairs Unlikely to qualify but have athletes trying - Alpine skiing - Alpine skiing (still with citizenship issues) - Alpine skiing - Skeleton / alpine skiing - Figure skating - Alpine skiing - Alpine skiing - Alpine skiing - Alpine skiing - Alpine skiing Unknowns: unsure if their athlete from Beijing will attempt qualification again - their only athlete with potential to qualify came back and DNF's his only race at the AWG, no race before (from 2022) or since then. Should be able to qualify if he tries to - Their monobob athlete from Beijing 2022 qualification cycle will try again. - 14 alpine skiing bios recently added to the FIS website for Guinea Bissau in alpine skiing, who knows their quality - Have an alpine skier from Switzerland? trying to qualify but has 0 results so far Countries which competed in Beijing but won't in Milan-Cortina - athlete has retired.
