There were 3 male jumpers at the junior world championships. None qualified for the 2nd round. Hopefully we can see them in the world cup or even the Continental cup soon

Can’t you get 32 in freestyle if you qualify for aerials mixed team?
 
Too bad we don’t even have any male ski jumpers too defend our legendary mixed team medal 😭😂

The FIS has released quota simulations for all its disciplines atm. For :
 
Alpine skiing:  8 men 5 women (13 athletes). Same total in Beijing, but the genders are flipped this time around (5 men and 8 women in 2022) Cross-country skiing: 5 men 6 women (11 athletes) +2 from Beijing. 10 quota per gender left, the women are 7th on the allocation list, men 10th. The spots are reserved for countries not qualifying anyone yet, but managed to score under 300 points at a WC next season. This is unlikely, and we may get 2 more quotas. Ski jumping: 3 women, down 1 from Beijing. No men.  Freestyle skiing: Currently have 20 men and 19 women with quotas. Only discipline without a full quota is the women's slopestyle with 3. Maximum total is 30, so NINE athletes will need to be cut to get down to this number, which will represent a decline of two from 2022, where the maximum was 32. Its possible an athlete triples up in halfpipe/big air/slopestyle, which could help reduce numbers).  Snowboard (total: 18 athletes), down from 23 in Beijing  Halfpipe: 2 women PGS: 2 men and 2 women SS/BA: 4 men and 2 women SC: 3 men and 3 women   
Overall - 6 from Beijing

The IBU has published the ranking after the final race and you are correct!

Well, it was not pretty... but I think we have men's and women's teams in the Olympics!

Final races with Nations Cups implications went today.

Men: Only two raced, Pletz (75th) and Connelly (95th), but fortunately Kazahkstan didn't have much of a day and only made up 40 points... so Canada finished 20th with a 156 point cushion

Women: Paradis had a very good day, finishing 36th! Hopefully she can keep building on that. Lunder was 58th, Moser 76th, and Peiffer 99th. The women finished 16th overall in the Nations Cup

At this time last week, we had one world championship medal this year in winter Olympic events. Now we're at 20.
