    There seems to be a lot less appetite to turn down quotas this time around.
  2. NearPup
    Looks like there will be very few re-allocations this year. I would not be surprised if the two re-allocated quotas got already is it. I'm not even all that optimistic about men's snowboard halfpipe (where Canada is first on the list).
  3. NearPup
    You should ask their federation, they haven't confirmed or turned down their quotas yet xD They have enough eligible skiers to do so if they want.
  4. NearPup
    Very few so far. Men: Women: must both decline at least one.
  5. NearPup
    With turning down their women's quota in cross country skiing it looks like will get a seventh women's quota in cross country.
  6. NearPup
    In general we are getting a whole lot less rejected quotas than in 2022 (which makes sense given that whole Olympic cycle was all kinds of weird) It also looks that with quotas being harder to earn than they used to be countries are less likely to reject them.
  7. NearPup
    has now accepted all initial quotas in every discipline except Freestyle Skiing (where, because of very stupid qualification rules, need to turn down seven :< )
  8. NearPup
    I believe is first reserve for a woman's spot? If so they should get it since is planning on not using their sixth woman's quota.
  9. NearPup
    All initial alpine skiing quotas accepted.
  10. NearPup
    Skeleton team will be named Wednesday.
  11. NearPup
    Real changing of the guards, four athletes making their Olympic debut.
  12. NearPup
    They should probably be upset at the FIS for the really ridiculous way quotas 2 and 3 are assigned xD
  13. NearPup
    As they should!
  14. NearPup
    Snowboarding is the first discipline where Canada responds to their available quotas, and they unsurprisingly accept everything.
  15. NearPup
    I think literally every neutral is happy with this outcome.
  16. NearPup
    Canada does get a third two-woman sled (but not a third monobob sled) Ribi did yell “going to the Olympics!” after her run, so she sure thinks she’s going.
  17. NearPup
    Nice to see with a "real" (needing more than a minimum standard) qualifications in two different sports (moguls and skeleton). Had you told me before the season that would get four quotas I would have been overjoyed, was worried the men might get zero 😅
  18. NearPup
    Maybe, but the tickets sure aren't priced like the IOC doesn't see value in that sport xD
  19. NearPup
    Good thing Canada and the US are limited to 32 athletes!
  20. NearPup
    Higher turn score is the tie-breaker.
  21. NearPup
    And remember to root against Fournier-Beaudry and Cizeron (along with Sørensen if he's there), the big villains of the ice dancing world xD
  22. NearPup
    But I was told on good authority that these games would be a disaster for the team
  23. NearPup
    Or the American team can arrange their internal ranking to be as if Canada entered all their athletes.
  24. NearPup
    The IBSF has concluded their investigation on the late withdrawal of Canadian athletes from the Lake Placid race and will not be taking any actions.
  25. NearPup
    The IOC is very TV ratings and ticket sale focused when it comes to sports to add / drop, seemingly. Which is probably not the best metric to use, but it does explain why alpine snowboarding is in more trouble than something like aerials or ski half-pipe (which should probably be closer to the chopping block if we go by competitive depth).
