Lillehammer next week will be the perfect reference.

Germany won't sweep any of the luge podiums. This ain't Oberhof.

4th reserve so very unlikely. Italy will qualify in four-men though.

Alright, now I expect a Totallympics meeting in Pyeongchang.

Biathlon At least two relays with a penalty loop will win medals. Cross-country Gary di Silvestri (DMA) will not finish the 15km race, putting Dominica's record of successfully finishing competitions at Winter Olympics to 0/3 Figure skating North Korean pair will finish in front of South Korean pair. Nordic combined First placed athletes after ski jumping in both individual events will not win a medal. Short track At least one athlete who fell at any point of the race will win a medal.

Also ranked with DNS today in Ravna Gora... This is starting to fall apart somewhat. 2.5k free in Ravna Gora might have been a perfect chance for him...

Good luck! I'm hoping that Bulgaria, Hungary, Belgium can finally win a new medal, chances are there, but in Sochi they all missed out narrowly. Ah, winter sports and their never changing medal tables.

Don't you mean something like 25?

Zero It's sad because we'll finish without a medal for the first time in this millennium, but I knew that's gonna happen ever since Kostelić won his last medal in Sochi.

Well, you are correct, they are wrong. FIS updates qualification tables very regularly, so it's pretty embarrassing for a sport federation to be wrong about that!

Amazing, Italy will not compete in the two-man event for the first time since 1928.

More quotas decided... Women's bobsleigh 3 - 2 - 1 - Men's two-man 3 - 2 - 1 -

China is 20th with 0+1

Also Karisik very good out of nowhere.

Yeah, it must have been New Zealand biathlete. I don't think I've ever seen Australia declining a quota.

Innerhofer, ouch.

Well, then the current biathlon qualification system literally sucks. Last time around everyone was given reallocations (for example Hungary in men's field and Moldova in women's). Crnković is so much more competitive than those!

Wait, so if Antholz does count then Crnković's current result would be enough?

Only 1:48 behind for Crković with 4 (!) misses. I wonder if he'll ever live up to his potential...

Yay, Jamaica survives.

What a drama in Olympic qualification. Big battle between CAN/USA for 3rd sled finished with CAN winning. Jamaica moved into at least 13th place, so now even 9th wouldn't be enough for the Romanians.

Commentator: "And there are so many loopholes that qualify nations..." Geez, how hard are continental quotas to understand?

No, they count as America so... Romania 9th, Jamaica 14th. That's 40 pts difference, while Jamaica's lead is 34 pts. :/ However, Humphries is only 0.01 behind ROU, surely they'll place in front after heat 2. Not just Humphries, Romania had much better start number than those around them in the rankings. Things should be more "normal" in heat 2, we'll see.

Well, if it stays like this after run 2 then Jamaica will lose their quota.

Firecracker into 5th!
