By the way, I did not follow the action, but there was another accident. "Jeanne Richard damaged her teammate Oceane Michelon's rifle. She was caught red-handed by Justine Braisaz-Bouchet." I do not know, if it was resolved somehow.

This video is just about the poic "Russia-Ukraine Crisis Consequences in Sports"

It means that our pair will miss Olympics for sure. But I am happy for your pair. They won it fair and they deserve it. It always sad to see when your own sports bodies destroys dreams.

Do you know how it worked at the Test event? There were no nations cup races at the Test event. And those points are not included into the world cup standings. So we do not know for sure what the standings is now

Hmm, according to the WC standings 30 are awarded for the 13th place.

Looks like a big battle for 2 second quotas in men`s singles. After the big 5 () 2 second quotas are at the stake. According to my calculations 2nd best athletes: - 55 - 37 - 35 - 33

Important information on team Aerials. There is no AIN`s team at the start list of the world cup despite of the fact that belorussians have enough athletes to have a team. https://medias4.fis-ski.com/pdf/2026/FS/8119/2026FS8119SLF1.pdf

By the way. It looks like no AIN`s will be in biathlon by the start of the Olympics. Russians filed an appeal to CAS to get AIN statuses in biathlon. But IBU did not agree to have hearings with short procedure. So the decisons are not expected before the end of qulifying period. (FIS could do the same but its top-officials prefer to help russians be back as quick as possible). I would like to see Dolidovich at the Games. Because she is a real refugee of the relatively high level.

Nepryaeva`s quota is potentially in the game too. Right now it is really just a speculation. But today according to our sources 3 of 6 russian lugers lost their AIN statuses. Will see what happen later - but all 3 of them have DNS in today`s training results.

Ukrainian resources reported in the morning that 3 russian lugers lost their AIN statuses. All 3 of them did not start today at the training session before the 3rd stage of the World Cup. https://www.fil-luge.org/cdn/uploads/wc-luge-training-group-b-12-16-2025.pdf 19 AIN GORBATSEVICH, Aleksandr DNS DNS DNS 22 AIN MAZUR, Sofiia DNS DNS DNS 24 AIN SHAMOVA, Kseniia DNS DNS DNS Other 3 russian lugers took part in the session. I do not think we will have some official communication from the FIL. I think they are to busy calculation qualification points manually.

Am I correct this allocation is not final and have time till the 19th of Janiary to get proper FIS-points?

An interesting detail. Russians still use fluorine in domestic races. Therefore, they do not have normal experience in using modern ski waxes and do not have experience in preparing skis for fast Alpine snow too. In this situation, the Italian team helps them prepare their skis. Marcus Kramer, who has experience working in Russia and now works with Italy, used his current position to help the Russians prepare their skis. @copravolley Is Italian ski federation ok with this? And if they will get Italian wax-service at the Olympics?

I would say we have some chace that Nepyaeva will not be invited by the IOC. But, FIS has time to issue AIN status to someone else. Did Belarus get the quota? I do not see AIN`s at the FIS qualification table
