Correct. Countries are limited to one team in the A final

Vladimir Semirunniy dropped a 12:28 in the 10000m B division, which qualifies him for the Olympics as the fastest time this season (with the big asterisk that it was done in a quad start). Must be a real relief for the Polish team given he isn't looking likely to qualify for the 10000m (or the 5000m) by ranking. Really problematic that they rank pair start and quad start times together, but whatever. Also, the Wikipedia page for qualification is updated through the second day.

Wikipedia qualification page updated after day 1. The women's 5000m time ranking is very funny, the first two Dutch women on the list do not earn a quota for their country (because slower Dutch athletes are already qualified by points).

It’s literally the easiest group in the history of the World Cup >.> TBH I don’t think any of the hosts have room to complain.

How did Qatar put on a better show? Embarrassed to be a Canadian *and* embarrassed to be an American at the same time watching this xD

Wait have you never heard soccer pronounced before? xD Anyway, blame the Brits, they invented the word.

Ya I'm sure potentailly being the inaugural dual moguls Olympic champion is offering plenty of motivation. I'm still so divided on this event, because on one hand I think its kinda BS to offer two gold medals for the *exact same event* but with a slightly different format, but on the other hand I really don't care because of how much I love moguls xD

Nothing, it's still morning :O

Ya I've never praised a dom as much as Infantino is praising Trump. I need to step up my game apparently.

Does Donald actually think this makes him look good? That's actually so sad in a way, he looks like a kid that's being tricked into believing he acomplished something.

Listen, I'm gay, but this is just too much cock sucking for me.

Now is time for the FIFA Donald Trump Prize, the most highly anticipated award of the year, where we reward someone for being Donald Trump.

Today I feel MAGA

It's honnestly embarassing how much time and energy is spent massaging Trump's ego. Really cool that my president is basically that old narcissistic uncle your family tolerates for some reason.

I mean tbh the fact he is still competing is already incredible. These are old knees for moguls. Bro just loves moguls.

In a way I wish was the host this year, it would have forced more of a reckoning.

will officially compete. will be boycotting. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/arts/music/eurovision-israel-boycott.html

Tyler Tardi has been selected as the alternate for the men’s curling team.

No either.

My quick calculation is that there are exactly 112 quotas (58M 54F) that got awarded through the individual events and the men's and women's relays. So no claw backs, but also no spare quotas for the mixed relay (so only 11 teams would compete in the mixed relay).

There are no athlete quotas* linked to the mixed relay, so you need at least two man and two woman already qualified to the Olympics to compete. * they will let you complete a team if you have three athletes, but only if there are quota spots left over in the 112 athlete limit. And it looks like there aren't going to be?

I thought wasn't qualified (not enough athletes)

I’m actually figuring the most likely option would be Taylor Tardi, since he was their alternate last year at worlds. Hard to imagine they pick Mike Caione (since he’s the team physio and not actually a competitive player)

Do we have any inclining of who Jacob’s alternate will be?

Ya Fleury is the big feel good factor in that team.
