    I heard stories from all kinds of ways. The quali system would be the way the finish top 2 and having 2 people who rank together equals 13 or less would have normally entered 3 quotas for the Olympics. As it was before. So regarding the old rules, they would not need 3 skaters in the free skates and they would have earned 3 quotas anyways. E.g.  Nathan Chen and Jason Brown got only two spots cause Vincent Zhou did not make the cut to the free skate. As I heard, ISU wanted to make the rules more fair for the small countries during the 2021 WCH. So you can even see skaters finishing last after free skate and making the Beijing 2022 cut. As it seems. While watching  TV, I also listened to Tomáš Verner who spoke a lot about it. He did not seem to me very confused. He said exactly the stuff about giving chance to small countries from WCH and if the big countries need 3rd or 2nd spot for the Games, they need to fight again at the Nebelhorns Trophy. For me, more fair than before. ..... The question is, will the quota for Nebelhorn Trophy increase or will it remain the same as announced at the beignning of the quali system? .... We will see.... Anyways, ISU said that the official quota will be announced by the April 11 latest. So let's wait and see. My opinion, I stick with the rules and they are being claimed as the most possible right now after the "crazy changes"... meaning that Bidař/Zhuk and Březinová all made the cut.....

    This all boils down to the ISU writing a poorly worded and unnecessarily complicated qualification system. The ISU routinely has some of the most complicated and difficult to understand qualification systems.

    It's not a bad theory but just reading the paragraph it's quite a stretch. "ISU Members who have earned the necessary points according to Rule 378, paragraph 2b) and c) will have the right for two (2) or three (3) entries if, in addition, they had two (2), respectively three (3) Skaters/Pairs/Couples qualified for the Free Skating/Free Dance in the World Senior Championships immediately preceding the OWG."

    Quick and dirty OG simulation after the ladies short:
     
    3 spots:


     
    2 spots:
    *
    *
     
    1 spot:
    *
    *












     
    * countries that have the chance to qualify an additional spot at the Nebelhorn Trophy
     
    It appears that every country that qualified a skater for the long program got a spot, the question is will something weird happen near the top to allow a country that didn't qualify for the long program to get a quota.
     
    It will be pretty hard to qualify out of Nebelhorn with the USA, South Korea and potentially Canada all trying to grab an extra spot, along with France who still hasn't qualified.

    The most awaited start list of my life is out, the one for tomorrow's 10k classic mass start in Engadin. Jaque and @brunamoura are on it, as we knew already, but....Australia is not. Croatia is not. Lithuania is not. Andorra is not. Armenia is not. Turkey is not.
     
    This means that, if the rankings made by me, Brazil's manager and Jaque's husband/coach (all independent from each other) are correct, finishing tomorrow's race or getting lapped (since that doesn't count as a DNF) would put Brazil ahead of both Croatia and Turkey and well into the top-30.
     
    They'd pass Thailand as well, but Chanloung still has a possible chance to stay ahead of Brazil depending on how the races go (pursuit and such). Then again, with only one DNS or DNF tomorrow, not coming from a Brazilian, they'd also pass Andorra. And if both score points tomorrow and either one of them starts and finishes on Sunday, they'll also overtake Lithuania (and even Greece if both Jaque and Bruna finish both races).
     
    Top-30 is looking incredibly good, now it's a matter of seeing if the rules won't change or something and then Brazil should have two tickets...

    I put the emoji since I'm not surprised by IOC turning out to be a bunch of corrupt two-faced fools again. Who really believes in the "integrity" and "transparency" anymore? Professional sport has become business and is driven by one thing only - money. IOC can afford to erase Belarus but they can't afford to erase China! What a shock!

    looks like the world guiness record is going to be updated once again...
     
    in a way for the 53rd win in the world juniors championship preliminary round in a row..
     
    Last time the "Juniorkronorna" lost in the preliminary round was in 2006 against USA in Overtime, since then they won 52 consecutive matches in preliminary round
     
    now with 10 minutes to go pretty well leading 5-1

    That's not gonna happen in the days of pro sports where sports IS money., You could sell that crap in the 80s when Stenmark or Wenzel got banned for Olympic Games but not now. Even IAAF dropped the 'Amateur' part of their name for instance before a complete name change.
     
    Comcast basically tells IOC what to do, how do you expect the sport to be more independent? Multi-billionaire companies run the sports every single day. And those private companies will NEVER become more transparent, they will throw the freedom of speech card at you and you're done. Since you're a journalist you should understand how such huge TV corporations work!
     
    The Russian ban is maybe justified but it doesn't justify other nations from being let off the hook. And cheaters like Justin Gatlin being allowed to compete. If Maria Lasitskiene will be ineligible to compete in Tokyo what the FUCK will be Justin Gatlin doing there in first place?

    naaa...writing is definitely not my best skill...
     
    by the way, about the word "fascinating" it's highly likely you're right, and I've been a bit misinterpretating it because of the Italian meaning of the correspondent word (which is normally only referred to "captivating in a good way", we have other words when we want to give a negative meaning to the sentence)...
     
    p.s. I understand you couldn't go down too hard because of the platform you're writing on...
    still, I'm heavily infuenced by my absolutely negative opinion on what the IOC is doing in the last 15 years or so...and therefore sometimes I can be very, very harsh with them...
    as I wrote many times, I feel just like a baby whose favourite toy has been broken/taken away...

    the article is very good. I only wish you wrote something about cycling men's road race - 90 riders in a race is not enough. I understand they try to change something, but they shouldn't mess with the most classic events, the core of the games. A race with 150 riders would be much more interesting.
     
    But anyway, I hope that both Tokyo and Paris will be fascinating to watch, too.
