So no more races left?

And to the other big Multi-sports event of 2018, the Commonwealth Games. This appears to be Canada's athletics team: http://athletics.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/2018-Commonwealth-Games-Ranking-List.pdf Sadly they can only send a max of 36 athletes, meaning the women's 4x400 relay has to sit at home. This is ridiculous considering Australia got 111... Also its sad to Bishop, Drouin and George (understandably, as she will compete in bobsleigh in Pyeongchang) withdraw. Tat is possibly 3 medals opportunities gone down the drain. Canada won 17 medals in Glasgow, but only 11 are currently ranked in the top 3 atm.

Qualification is the same for both.

Yea the summer Olympics have much more wtf and boring sports than the Winter ones. The Winter Olympics are much more exciting to watch.

Some national teams news http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/john-herdman-takes-over-canadas-mens-program-1.4478560

And slopestyle.

Watch the IOC force the ISU into adding it to attract young people.

Maybe as a new sport: "snowkite" Recently announced was a world cup series to begin shortly.

Without a doubt there needs to be a consistent world cup that develops the sport first.

Kylie Masse breaking the WR in the women's 100m backstroke.

Mono-bob would encourage other countries to compete, and also would reduce costs for countries that struggle to field 2 or 4 men squads. Also I thought for some reason cyclo cross was another term for ice cross (red bull crashed ice), this has to be on lol. so add two to my total. 148 in 19 sports.

What is cyclo cross? And I forgot to put monobob/cross country cross in mine, so my total would be 146 in 18 sports. But @heywoodu ski ballet, but no halfpipe or slopestyle? Wtf? lol

Three pieces of news: Lawes/Morris will represent in the mixed doubles in Pyeongchang is expected to make its debut at the next world mixed doubles championships Also will challenge for the last spot in the men's worlds this year. Possibly the biggest mismatch in sport this year?

He went from Poland to Prague, so i'd assume the next race is in The Czech Republic/

Harvey becomes 1st non-European to reach overall Tour de Ski podium

will be represented by Val Sweeting / Brad Gushue (Olympic Gold medalist 2006) or Kaitlyn Lawes (gold medalist in 2014) and John Morris (gold medalist in 2010) in the mixed doubles in Pyeongchang.

Mexican skier is not qualified, and is in the same situation as Pita.

These will qualify Nigeria Jamaica Ghana (also has an alpine skier) North Korea Just outside qualification and need better results Tajikistan (needs a couple good results to qualify) Venezuela: no race results since last update, needs 2-3 good results Nepal (needs a couple good results) Tonga 1 more race needed... but he hasn't been close to hitting it after Project Bogota. Unlikely: Trinidad and Tobago Algeria Paraguay (needs good results x5 to qualify... time is running out). First 4 should qualify, I also predict Tajikistan, Nepal and Tonga to qualify. So 7 more nations would equal 96 countries.

No Canadian women has hit the standard for the women's 1500m wow.

2 golds today

But watch the IOC add it to the 2022 Olympics and cut men's sleds!!!!!!!!111111 What a joke.

Kaillie Humphries and Phylicia George For those who do not know, George is a two time finalist in the women's 100m hurdles at the Olympics (2012 and 2016).

I disagree. The IBU has made it increasingly difficult for smaller nations to qualify for the Olympics. In many of these smaller countries funding usually hinges on the Olympics. No Olympics = no funding, which effectively will kill the sport in smaller nations. For ex. less countries scored qualifying points for 2018 vs 2014. On the other hand, the FIS changed Olympic qualification rules after 2014, to allow roller skiing events to be counted towards Olympic qualification, which will increase the number of participating nations.
