As per the FIS quota release today only 6 countries would be eligible for the Aerials team event at the 2026 Olympics: no other country has enough athletes to qualify a team. Last time out both and withdrew, are we possibly heading to an event with 4 entries only?

Will Belgium use all 8 quotas?

The FIS has released quota simulations for all its disciplines atm. For : Alpine skiing: 8 men 5 women (13 athletes). Same total in Beijing, but the genders are flipped this time around (5 men and 8 women in 2022) Cross-country skiing: 5 men 6 women (11 athletes) +2 from Beijing. 10 quota per gender left, the women are 7th on the allocation list, men 10th. The spots are reserved for countries not qualifying anyone yet, but managed to score under 300 points at a WC next season. This is unlikely, and we may get 2 more quotas. Ski jumping: 3 women, down 1 from Beijing. No men. Freestyle skiing: Currently have 20 men and 19 women with quotas. Only discipline without a full quota is the women's slopestyle with 3. Maximum total is 30, so NINE athletes will need to be cut to get down to this number, which will represent a decline of two from 2022, where the maximum was 32. Its possible an athlete triples up in halfpipe/big air/slopestyle, which could help reduce numbers). Snowboard (total: 18 athletes), down from 23 in Beijing Halfpipe: 2 women PGS: 2 men and 2 women SS/BA: 4 men and 2 women SC: 3 men and 3 women Overall - 6 from Beijing

For starters it would make the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships almost obsolete.

Updated sailing quotas: https://panamsailing.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ASUNCION-2025-STATUS-of-NOC-QUALIFICATION-19-03-2025.pdf rejected 4 quotas.

Hopefully that puts to rest the ridiculous notion of the sports being held elsewhere

The Scotland lost was a fluke imo. Korea is a good team and was never going to be easy.

By the sounds of it will not compete in the men;s rugby sevens event

What the IOC mentioned was Boxing had the highest ratio of countries winning medals to the countries participating, ofc it was gonna return

Co-hosting as an option?

6 out of 9 gold for Canada, and the three events without the gold, Canada won silver. I hope this is replicated next year but it will be very difficult.

Matthew Erickson and Abdullahi Hassan go 1 2 in the men's 800. In fact 4 out of 8 finalists were Canadian.
