Continental champions plus three best not yet qualified from the World Championships per FIVB https://www.fivb.com/volleyball-and-beach-volleyball-qualification-systems-for-la28-olympic-games-confirmed/

Yes, I need to know the results of the Atlantis Games that gives two spots in quidditch and whether Bullerby is going to accept the universality quota in one of 67 swimming events.

He's from Hungary

PEN is being moved to the last place in the round, YC is in the whole event.

In Hamar. He finished 4th while Lorello 9th. Had Lorello finished 8th (ahead for example Semirunniy), the Pole would qualify On the other hand, Semirunniy lost 0.07s to the third place there that would also have qualified him for the OWG in 5000 metres.

And he was too fast when he needed to be slower

Artti Aigro will miss the competition at the normal hill.

Mirko Lazareski has been replaced by Viktor Petkov. The former one's sample came positive and he's temporarily suspended.

And she's back! For real! https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/news/kenyan-skier-sabrina-simader-returns-from-retirement-to-compete-at-milano-cortina-2026

Road/Track Cycling was added in December. Other than that, we're still waiting for boxing, water polo, lacrosse, skateboarding and surfing.

Retired Sabrina Simader is entered but not even the Olympics editor for Africa is certain she will compete https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/news/africa-at-milano-cortina-2026-winter-olympics-who-are-the-continent-s-athletes-at-the-games-and-how-to-follow-them

Tank you. The comment with the heats is updated.

Can you tell who? I found only versions with none or two.

With every team announced, we can get a look at the heats's starting lists that are based on the Olympic Sprint Ranking List (ISMF Rule 59.1 & 60.2). The only problem is with China because they announced 2 skiers for each gender. MEN'S Heat 1 Heat 2 Heat 3 Cardona Kistler Lietha Ferrer Drion Anselmet Giner Dalmasso Filippov Klette Verbnjak Lodoen Hoesch Bu Smith Elantkowski Boscacci Bellingham Siarnik WOMEN'S Heat 1 Heat 2 Heat 3 Harrop Fatton Alonso Paller Ravinel Murada Ulrich Jagercikova Costa Waldal Hiemer Januszyk Cully De Silvestro Cidan Gibson Hamilton Euringer Athletes are ranked 1-6 (from top to bottom) and ordered on the start line from left to right - Rank 5, Rank 3, Rank 1, Rank 2, Rank 4, Rank 6 The progression to semifinals is 3 Q from each heat and 3 Lucky Losers with best times.

No after all. We get 3rd and instead.

I just noticed they nominated four skiers, two per gender, while they can field only two, one per gender.

That's great. I was looking at the list here https://www.olympic.cn/news/focus/2026/0123/686015.html and they are not included yet.

I'm looking at the Olympic nominations and can't see any SkiMo athletes

accepted 4th W quota. It's officially over for Kapustikova.

It's surely easier if your father is a gold medalist from Calgary and has two more medals (silver, bronze) from team competitions (Calgary, Lillehammer). But aside that, Finn Kempf did fairly well in Continental Cup/Alpen Cup this winter and will be a nice addition to the team sprint for Pascal Mueller. Moreover, I'm happy Switzerland is getting easier on their national criteria.

rejected their sole female quota. Now only left to confirm.

His quota was from CoC only because there were not enough athletes with points in WC. But there are no separate reserve lists, so his quota goes to .

I think it's 18:00 CET after all. The confirmation started at 14:00 CET, just like in the instruction, and it closes at 18:00 CET there.

Quota was calculated based on the World Cup points. Small number of entries meant that anyone who turned up scored some WC points (earned by finishing position). Point scored in a competition, the ones used to determine the rank during a competition, are converted into the FIS points to determine the relative performance. It's easier to explain in a simple sport like alpine skiing. There are 2 slaloms competitions on two days. Day one and day two winners have the exact same time. A skier lost to the winner exactly 2.00 seconds on every day. They were 16th on day one and received 15 WC points, they were 25th on day two and received 6 WC points. But since the gap to the winner was exactly the same, they received the same FIS points each day. On the other hand, another skier was 20th on both days - 2.25 seconds behind and 1.75 seconds behind respectively. They got 11 WC points on each day but received the worse FIS points on day one because they were slower (worse). In freestyle halfpipe, a skier needed to score average at least 50 FIS points across two competitions. Both and failed to do so.

They fell short on the rule that lugers must compete in two World Cups in January this year or once and do twenty training runs until 18th January if they were ranked low in the previous season (2024-25).
