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

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.

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

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.

got a quota in the men's singles instead of  in order to compete in the team relay. 's man and woman singles and 's men and women doubles have yet to fulfill athlete eligibility criteria.

Nothing changes as the quotas are for their NOCs, not for a certain ski jumper. Vagul and Kapp would potentially go the Games if Estonia decides to send them at all.

The +4 part stays the same. 2nd  and 1st  still get their quotas. What changed is that the previously unused quota would go to maximum 3rd  etc but now instead they will go to 4th  etc.

Poland's third woman has results very close to the Slovak girls, maybe a bit better with some national bias , and the Olympic Games might serve as farewell to her career.
I can't promise anything but don't lose hope.

It's the continuation of the previously awarded 48 quotas. Who can reject some of them? The foremost suspect in ski jumping -  one of their three, just to compete in the mixed team as only Josephine Pagnier is competitive. The next one is your neighbor  - only 2 compete at the World Cup level, Karolina Indrackova got pregnant this summer and Veronika Jencova just started to train after the knee injury. In my opinion, the third country to go down from three to two ski jumpers might be  - Alexandria Loutit is injured and Natalie Eilers is far from qualifying for the World Cup events. It's getting trickier now. Maybe  one place down if they decide it's not worth to complete the mixed team? I doubt that either  or  decides not use all four spots each but I wouldn't be surprised if they did, to be honest.

The Technical director of the Dutch Olympic Committee has, using his discretionary powers, decided to include them in the team. He cites “extra-ordinary circumstances”, but has not stated what they are. The use of these powers is quite rare. They were used in 2022 to nominate an alpine-skier.

pair Danilova/Tsiba hasn't fulfilled the national criteria to participate in the Games but their skating federation has sent a request to the national olympic committee for an exception and to include them to the TeamNL. https://www.schaatsen.nl/nieuws/knsb-dient-verzoek-in-voor-olympisch-startbewijs-danilova-tsiba/

Final SOQCs are here if anyone is still waiting and checking the ISU communications page. Compared to the lists on the wikipedia and the World Cup standings,  Yakubovskiy is missing 20 points from Hamar in the men's mass start. And the host quotas weren't moved up in the time rankings from the reserve lists to the last qualifying spots. 

Sochowicz has clearly underperformed so far this season. I hope he picks up the pace soon and we should join the team relay event.
