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".

I see what you did there.

Yeah, I doubt he even read qualification system, judging by that idea.

Trikhichev finishes 2nd.

Darn it, there goes your chance of becoming a millionaire.

Belgium leading the way. Surprise, surprise.

I don't think I have ever seen conditions as bad as this. And we are talking about alpine skiing here!

Not talking about World Cups here. They are hosted by already established nations anyway. Russia and South Korea were nowhere in skeleton before they won the hosting rights. Obviously it's too easy to break into the top group of skeleton if you have virtually unlimited budget...

But the effect in skeleton is extremely amplified. In luge the host nation has won a gold medal only in 1964 and 2006.

And men's skeleton will have home boys winning at 3 (!) consecutive Olympics. Pretty sure that hasn't happened in any sport for a ridiculous amount of time (like, before WW2)... "Great" piece of statistics for skeleton.

Yun has a custom made sled, made specifically for himself AND the track in Korea. Yeah...

Some continental races are yet to come, but basically nothing can change. 3 quotas - 2 quotas - 1 quota -

I'm pretty sure she isn't the biggest fan of the Olympics 4 runs format.

Flock continues her run of random results.

That would be really sad. Didn't she already reach the requirements (2xtop 8)? She was also very good at the test event in PC.

Nothing new. Confirmation should come next week.
