Venezuela's skier also started well behind as well in his quest for Sochi 

Gambia has no athletes. THe organizing committee confirmed directly with me. They are just sending a delegation with officials.

Have all officially qualified for Pyeongchang in alpine skiing (however if they will send these athletes is another question in itself).

Where will you travel this year?

Concacaf should get max 6
Asia a max 7
Concacaf would be more competitive. 
 
Africa has a ridiculous amount of teams at the same level, they should get 10
 

Upon reading this forum, I have changed my mind. Surfing etc. may be shit, but nothing can beat the sheer arduousness of dressage.

Go Tunisia and Croatia!!! 

Wow Poland has horrible luck!
 
Good luck too  Croatia/Tunisia tmr!

ok so I return back my Canadian citizenship and will enjoy the rest of the game, good luck to both contestants

I think @hckosice should pick the chest (I am not very lucky) then I can take over from here. 

Good luck to New Zealand/Tunisia/Serbia/USA/Mexico/Croatia and Poland!

I wouldn't feel comfortable with Algeria hosting the competition. I would personally not compete.

Wow, just wow I seriously don't envy the people around you. Also, I gave credit to both users in the thread that made the logo & the templates and never claimed them as my own. And you see, if you try to be more nice and straightforward with people, you can get their respect and friendship. A feeling that you probably don't share with any of the users in this forum, because you are rude as heck to nearly everyone.

We have our own Trump

Okay, I've missed a lot. How is Algeria even allowed to bid when there were messages on the forum floating around that "I would never host such a thing", "I wouldn't have time for it", "I'm not interested" etc. I think someone might have screenshotted this as they are already deleted by Wanderer, if I'm correct.
 
Edit. Just like when Germany's votes were not accepted when the user mentioned that he doesn't care about the contest.

omg! Prayers for a full recovery.

And most importantly, they come at the expense of more competitive, more historical and more prestiged events, which devalues the whole sport. I don't want to say it, but many of the changes seem to be just for the political correctness.

One thing that pisses me of a lot is the fact that there are no tripartite invitationals for the Winter Olympics, when some nations could really use them.
 
I remember specially a Bahamas snowboarder from Sochi who was not far from clasification. Then in summer olympics it's like a free pass for no level athletes.....

Colombia is going to make its world cup debut this weekend in Korea!

Quoting myself to correct a mistake lol.

Gambia is sending a delegation but no athletes.

First reaction on the Dutch forums: "This makes it even more impressive that the Dutch speed skaters beat all those dirty Russians and won so many medals"  (in a sarcastic way of course)
