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!

That was a video game run for Queen of the speed.

Appartently Colombia, but they changed proportions of their flag.

Looks like Northern Ireland quietly left Great Britain, according to the showgrounds of Global Dressage Festival in Florida.

Not sure. I think he sadly injured himself during the holidays (judging by a photo on Instagram where he uses crutches). No idea about how serious it is though.

Woohoo, we qualified both two-men and four-men teams for PC. Exciting times!

I told you so.

Their selection document doesn't even include skeleton. I think they only have standards in alpine and cross-country skiing. Those are different as you only have to reach the international minimum while in others it's a competition to qualify. In any case, figure skating and short track are also a part of the document and there aren't any additional national standards in those sports.

Current men's quotas... 3 - 2 - 1 - Reserve list... (!) Switzerland probably won't accept it, just like Norway, so Israel looks pretty safe. Also a chance for Luxembourg if Austria declines the second place (that seems to be the most likely reallocation IMO, but not sure if possible).

Alpine skiing At least 33% of starters in men's slalom will not reach the finish. Mikaela Shiffrin will win exactly 3 gold medals. Biathlon Lithuania's mixed relay team will not get lapped. (this one is a brain teaser even for @Werloc ) Curling No nation will win a medal in all 3 events. At least one end in the entire tournament will finish with a score 6-0. Figure skating Aimee Buchanan (ISR) - the only figure skater that will contest the team event, but not the individual event - will not finish last in the team event short program. Luge There will be at least one tie in men's or women's singles after 4 runs.

It sounded like you corrected him on national television, judging by this "Alright, good to know I wasn't wrong".
