Top 20 in a World Cup standing: Italy Paris (DH, SG) Innerhofer (DH) Casse (SG) De Aliprandini (GS) Razzoli (SL) Vinatzer (SL) Total: 6 Athletes, Quotas: 7 = Where is the problem? France Clarey (DH) Pinturault (SG, GS, SL) Bailet (SG) Faivre (GS) Noel (SL) Total: 5 Athletes, Quotas: 9 = Where is the problem? The Olympic Games are also for the small nations. That’s it what the Olympics are standing for. And in the big nations, a top 20 place in the World Cup ranking should be the requirement for participation in the Olympics (France was also nominated according to this criterion). Athletes who are not in the top 20 would also be very big surprise medal winners then.

Austria also understood today that they have only 9 quota places in the men's competition. Are of course totally pissed off and see it as the task of the FIS to create them another 2 quota places. Likewise one assumes that the ranking list is still changed after Kitzbühel. It could also not be that nations like Italy and France have only 9 places, but more podium riders. Where do France and Italy have more than 9 podium riders? Austria doesn't either this season. France has currently even nominated only 5 athletes for Beijing, because they do not really have more. https://www.laola1.at/de/red/wintersport/olympia-2022/oesv-herren-zittern-nach-olympia-kalkulation-um-zwei-startplaetze/

A typical pre Olympics relay start list in some teams Belarus vs Norway vs Russia I think https://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/2122/BT/SWRL/CP07/SWRL/C51B2_v1.pdf

The question is what happened to Skottheim? 56. with only two misses! They need her for the Relay, I think.

Brilliant stuff from her. Especially 9/10 in the standing shoot

Emilien Jacquelin is out for Mass Start and Relay. He is really tired.

That middle section

On Sunday evening

Anais Chevalier-Bouchet will miss the Individual and probably the Relay, to do more training before the Olympics.

Wright looks like Top 15 and Mass Start Qualifcation

No, there is no one else behind these three women. Edit: I see they accepted two more spots, but the federation officially nominated only these 3 today.

Denise Hermann (WSC Erzgebirge Oberwiesenthal) Vanessa Hinz (SC Schliersee) Franziska Preuss (SC Haag) Vanessa Voigt (WSV Rotterode) Anna Weidel (WSV Kiefersfelden) Benedikt Doll (SZ Breitnau) Johannes Kühn (WSV Reit im Winkl) Erik Lesser (SV Eintracht Frankenhain) Philipp Nawrath (Skiklub Nesselwang) Roman Rees (Ski Verein Schauinsland) David Zobel (SC Partenkirchen)

Emma Aicher (SC Mahlstetten) Lena Dürr (SV Germering e.V.) Kira Weidle (SC Starnberg e.V.) Romed Baumann (WSV Kiefersfelden) Josef Ferstl (SC Hammer e.V.) Simon Jocher (SC Garmisch e.V.) Andreas Sander (SG Ennepetal) Alexander Schmid (SC Fischen) Dominik Schwaiger (WSV Königssee e.V.) Linus Straßer (TSV 1860 München e.V.).

Oh my gosh, they will hate them now.

Hope for Austria: Norway has nominated their Team: Lucas Braathen (Bærums Skiklub), Timon Haugan (Oppdal), Mina Fürst Holtmann (Bærums), Aleksander Aamodt Kilde (Lommedalen), Henrik Kristoffersen (Rælingen), Atle Lie McGrath (Bærum), Ragnhild Mowinckel (Rivale), Adrian Smiseth Sejerst Stabæk ), Sebastian Foss Solevåg (Spjelkavik), Thea Louise Stjernesund (Hakadal), Maria Therese Tviberg (Geilo), Rasmus Windingstad (Bærum). Only 8 man, but they accepted 9 quotas

Has accepted it‘s additional quote in the men‘s.

Sweden is official! A disaster for Austria.

Germany will definitely accept another spot. Canada I think too, they only have 4 at the moment. But Norway 10 skiers, I’m not sure, too. Kilde, Kristoffersen, Braathen, Foss-Solevaag, McGrath, Windigstad, Sejersted, Haugan, Solheim, Nestvold-Haugan that are the only skiers I remember …

Marocco done it!

It looks like maximum 10 are possible but could be even worst …

No, once a federation has rejected its quota places, it cannot get them back. Tomorrow, these places will be distributed to the successors. There is no going back.

Germany declines two women‘s spots.

The deadline is today.

Haha, I think there will be maximum 4 women at the Olympics. Weidle, Duerr, Aicher and a third women for the team event.

A very needed place for men. No athlete from .
