Don't forget the mighty Faroe Islands, Latvia and Andorra.

Apparently FIS is thinkingabout throwing skiathlon out of the big events and introducing biathlon-alike pursuit instead. All for the urban generation, of course.

Wow, our men's team finished 4th in the team compound seeding. Too bad that nobody cares about recurve here... And recurve is the cheaper discipline, among other things...

She reached the minimum eligibility requirements at a CCI3* competition in Fair Hill (67 dressage or better, clear jumping and not more than 30 time penalties in XC, not more than 16 jumping penalties in show jumping). There are not too many opportunities to reach the needed MERs in CCI3*/4* in a season. Moguel for example entered Kentucky 4* in April (eliminated in XC), then re-routed to Jersey Fresh 3* in May (got more then 30 time pens in XC), and now she made it at the end of the season.

Meanwhile on the other side of the Atlantic, Dani Moguel has ensured her qualification for the WEG next year.

There isn't any. Apparently there are no extra requirements for skaters who are making their Olympic debut.

Referendum for an European city will fail. What a shock.

Two reallocations will be hard to come by though. The only somewhat likely one is Kazakhstan declining their second quota. Their second best skater is injured apparently and it doesn't seem like anyone else could reach the MERs.

And currently we have only 4 riders out of 15 starters jumping clear. That's a challenging cross-country course.

It's the so called short format competition. Dressage, jumping and 6 minutes cross-country. Short format competitions are often used as a preparation for the long formats, or for the riders/horses that are making their debut at the 3* level.

One of the last 3* competitions of the eventing season, short format in Strzegom, will be streamed here starting around 12:30 (the cross-country phase)... Leaderboard is available here. Btw, this should be the first 3* competition in history that has not 1, but 2 Lithuanian riders competing.

Oh, dear, that's roller skiing on 35 degrees.

I wonder if the athletes competing in run-jump-throw will have to run 100/200m, then immediately perform a long jump and after that throw a javelin. Of course, they will have to carry javelin during running and jumping parts.

"Run-jump-throw", WTF The Hunt-Pursuit relay sound like some equestrian event. 3 very specific field events, for whatever reason. And a knock-out format.

Jungbluth scored some great FIS points in yesterday's race. His average is now 308, so he should be able to secure first ever Ecuadorian qualification by the end of the Sao Carlos races.

The Committee lost its Moroccan member.

It's not too late. You can submit a new one.

Same here, I thought it was very familiar, but couldn't open the history thread knowing that my laptop would crash... Maybe there should just be links to the youtube videos there, as I don't think using spoiler option would help (videos should still load with/without spoiler).

Indeed. Stuff like that gets ignored in football, but I'd take it with a pinch of salt since we are talking about someone as "irrelevant" as Panama...

Panama declared a National holyday today apparently.

Panama And Peru So there should be a couple of interesting teams,

Cheater referee got that ikea coupon so....

I read in the comments that her age was a mistake? Apparently her YOB at previous events was 2000.
