Only 20 nations will likely qualify to compete in Short track speed skating. New for 2018: Out from 2014:

Congrats to Ireland pitty I didn't vote for it Also Americas with 5 top 10 songs!! Not too bad

Is there an update on the Egypt/Jordan situations? @ahjfcshfghb @thepharoah

Any idea why Colombia is not competing at the World Cup in Norway?

Thank you to those who voted for Canada. It was hard for me to pick 12 songs.

11 people are ranked ahead of SGP in the women's 1500m standings... cutting it really close.

will not compete in PyeongChang unfortunately (unless they randomly get someone else to qualify). Patrick Brachner retired

Let the people decide in a referendum

The same 8 qualified 5 athletes each in Sochi.

Women's Short track speed skating +5 +5 +5 +5 +5 +5 +5 +5

Yes a would be nice...but not necessary. If I miss it so be it.

GOD: Brazil, Spain, Iceland, Nigeria GOL: Russia, Peru, Iran, Panama (NO offence to anyone)

Cheyenne Goh did not advance out of the preliminaries in the women's 1500m. Out of the athletes that advanced only 2 can pass her in points. This would put her into 36th position overall. The top 36 do qualify. Canada has 4 athletes ahead of her, so in fact she is ranked 35th. There is also an athlete from Italy who did not advance who might get more points in the standings, which would drop her to 36th. So worst case scenario is she will be ranked 36th??? So that means she has unofficially qualified for PyeongChang 2018, and will be come the first Singaporean to compete in the Winter Olympics PS. I hope I am not wrong...

Andre Hamm in freestyle skiing (and their only shot at qualification) is injured. Its unlikely now the country qualifies

Not surprised. I'd bet quite a lot of money he is doping rght now!

Africa is expanding to 24 for 2019 and Concacaf is expanding to 16 as well ...

Yes, but some quotas have already been assigned.

Winter Olympic qualification tracking is boring versus the Summer Olympics... but the FIS does keep track on their website the quota standings.

is in qualification position in women's bobsleigh as of now. http://www.ibsf.org/en/rankings/rankings?season=2017&ctype=3&session=

Only Hockey and Curling so far. All other sports will be in between next week (short track speed skating) till middle of January (for all skiing disciplines).

Goh is ranked 34th (top 36 qualify) overall in the women's 1500m. One more event to go, so cross your fingers!

Too bad it was only good for 31st, as he needs at least one top 30th spot to qualify for the Olympics.

Not good for Olympic qualification standings.... also in third

Not 100% sure on this but... Cheyenne Goh of is into the semifinals (top 23) of the women's 1500m at the Shanghai World Cup. 17th place got 281 points last round. If that is the same case here and Goh isn't disqualified she would up to 24th overall in the 1500m standings (granted all other athlete's points would need to be added, but she likely would still be in the top 36 needed to qualify).

baseball great Roy Halladay has died at age 40, due to a plane crash Was privileged to view him pitch on multiple occasions. RIP
