The qualification systems will be discussed during pre-Olympic pre-Session meeting of IOC EB in Pyeongchang, to be exactly on the second day of the meeting - Sunday February the 4th. But, as we know, the time of publication might be different for different IFs. I've got a "leak" about field hockey - there's going to be some "Hockey Series Open" which will be the first step to Olympic qualifications. One tournament will be held in Gniezno with Central European countries, two of them will go further. @LDOG Do you know something more about this new competition (I assume it's some lower level after destructing the egalitarian World League in favour of Hockey Pro League for chosen elite countries)?

MONACO - Bobsleigh - two-man of Rudy Rinaldi (bronze medallist of YOG 2012, he will be a flag bearer) and Boris Vain (debut) - Alpine skiing - Alexandra Coletti (fourth consecutive Winter Olympics), and Oliver Jenot (third Olympics, missed Vancouver) Trivia: - Alexandra Coletti will equalize the second-best result of Olympic appearances for Monaco - Patrice Servelle has four as well. The only one Monegasque who has one more is Albert Grimaldi (known as His Serene Highness Albert II, The Sovereign Prince of Monaco). - Rudy Rinaldi will be first Winter Youth Olympian to represent Monaco at "adult" Winter Olympics. Earlier Angelique Trinquier, Youth Olympian from 2010, took part in Summer Olympics 2012. Both of them were/will be flag bearers at their adult Olympic debut.

Curling - Norwegian men's team will play every match in different trousers.

I don't watch men's volleyball leagues (or any club competition) but this year in Poland we can watch women's Italian league, which is far more exciting than Polish "Only Chemik wins" league. Though if I was to choose who's more attractive, Bednarek-Kasza or Chirichella...

For me it was excellent, because every year, when I can be near sport is excellent. And this year I managed to be on many top competitions - Modern Pentathlon World Cup, Rowing World Cup (my debut as photoreporter only), Eventing European Championships, Water Polo European Championships qualification, Modern Pentathlon U24 European Championships and the biggest event ever I was at - EYOF in Győr.

Maybe I'll take Monaco

It's possible, that the quota for other continents will be given at other competition - like European quotas for women's football at FIFA Women's World Cup.

Last week in Nigeria. You're welcome: http://www.uipmworld.org/event/yog-2018-continental-qualifier-africa I love such competition - even I don't know any of the athletes starting and even I didn't suspect that in some countries (Ghana, Nigeria) there are any pentathletes.

For curling it might be interesting - Russian women wouldn't start, so will we take three teams from the Plzen torunament starting tomorrow or next from ranking, that will start the Plzen tourament unnecessarily?

Well, in Poland we also have a reason to celebrate - our men go to Division A for the first time in history. Probably we won't do much more than Slovaks did this year, but still we are in great euphory.

Thanks God, I thought, that four years after my school finishing exams I already forgot the basic rules of maths

How can third or second be fourth?

What about the traditional medal ceremony at closing ceremony? Will it be still men's 50 km or it will be changed to women's 30 km?

Women's stake is more equalized at the top level than men's in Asia. It means all can happen.

Choong and Muir are only ones I'm sure of - their participation is confirmed on PentathlonGB webiste. Maybe (just suppose) Prasiantsova, who doesn't participate in U24 Europeans, though Belarus sends strong team. Maybe, they are training normally As well as Italians Maybe Schleu, I'm not sure but I think she wrote something about it few weeks ago on Facebook. Schöneborn married not so long ago, but last year Khuraskina came to CISM World Championships right after her honeymoon and won it. They also don't send anyone to U24 Europeans to Drzonków, though this age category is also for Marvin Dogue, Christian Zillekens and Alexandra Bettinelli. Maybe Özyüksel, there was some competition lately in Turkey, seems like National Championships (unfortunately I didn't check it in details), so they may be training now normally. No go: Nowacka, who is on holiday in Balkans. We have this U24 Europeans in Drzonków, so other seniors might come to support their younger colleagues. And all our national team coaches will be there, so probably only Maliszewska might come with her club coach to Doha (but I doubt it, as her boyfriend, Stasiak, will start in her home city and there was no document of selection signed by sports director as it is usually done for the UIPM competition, which is all competitions instead of the only commercial one - Kremlin Cup, and CISM competitions). Kovács is on holiday in Rome, Földházi seems not to train now as well, she took part in some "BBQ World Cup". Bence Demeter had hip surgery. In fact I doubt any of Hungarians will be in Doha - both "association captains" (they call their main coaches this way in Hungarian) are to come to Drzonków. Though somebody might go either without a coach or with a club coach. Hefny has some pain and doesn't run - posted on Instagram photo from horse riding training. Kuf was on some trip in mountains, even if it was part of training, not the kind it should be done few days before competition in the desert. They had holiday lastly, I think - some of their women's pentathletes posted photos in bikini by the sea in last days/weeks, so I suppose they wouldn't start in a competition without training.

IOC says that they need to change the process so that more cities want to organise Olympics. Cities do want to, people don't. And people won't understand anything from the IOC officials speeches.

My simulation of quotas after Dordrecht. Please, check it, if you can, just to be sure my method of counting is good.

Oh, I missed it. So that might change a little bit. That's how it looks correctly:
