A few days ago, I posted the results from the quota simulation I've been working on. I thought I would do a breakdown of Canada's earned/projected quotas here. Overall, based on the results of the 2024-25 World Cup Seasons, Canada is projected to send a team of 215 athletes to Milan-Cortina, a decrease of 10 athletes from 2022. Alpine Skiing (11 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 11 (6 men + 5 women) # of athletes in 2022: 13 (5 men + 8 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 10 # of events in 2022: 11 Overall, this is a decrease of 2 athletes from 2022. The men's side, however, is projected to increase by one. Brodie Seger and Jeffrey read both being ranked in the top 30 on the World Cup Start List has opened the way for Cameron Alexander and Jack Crawford to qualify via the Olympic allocation list. Liam Wallace (who I've never heard of before but I think he competes in the Nor-Am Cup) also helps qualify Canada a quota through the Olympic Allocation List. The women's side has taken a hit though with Marie-Michele Gagnon and Erin Mielzynski retiring and Roni Remme switching to Germany. Valerie Grenier and Kiki Alexander both help Canada earn additional quotas through the Olympic Allocation List. This is in addition to earning the maximum 2 quotas from athletes ranked in the top 30 on the World Cup Start List. Britt Richardson (giant slalom), Laurence St. Germain (slalom) and Ali Nullmeyer) are all in the top 30 in their events along with Grenier (Super-G and Giant Slalom). In terms of possible additional quotas, Raphael Lessard, Riley Seger, and Cassidy Gray are all within striking distance of the final skiers ranked on the Olympic Allocation list and could help gain additional quotas for Canada. Canada also an additional basic quota for each gender. Biathlon (8 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 8 (4 men + 4 women) # of athletes in 2022: 8 (4 men + 4 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 8-9 # of events in 2022: 10 Canada has successfully qualified 4 athletes in each gender through the Nations Cup Rankings. The women comfortably qualified in 16th while the men just made it in 20th. Good thing that Russia and Belarus are both banned or else we would likely only be sending 1 man to the Olympics. Bobsleigh (14 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 14 (8 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 18 (12 men + 6 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 4 # of events in 2022: 4 Thanks to the retirements of Justin Kripps and Chris Spring, Canada is only projected to qualify 2 men's sleds. Pat Norton and Taylor Austin finished the season 16th and 17th on the combined 2-man and 4-man World Ranking List and if they repeat these results next season, should have no problems qualifying 2 sleds for Canada. On the women's side, Cynthia Appiah, Melissa Lotholz, and Kristen Bujnowski finished 12th, 13th and 15th in the women's combined monobob and 2-woman world rankings. Canada's 3rd sled is behind Germany and the US but well ahead of the other nations so qualifying 3 sleds shouldn't be any problems. I think 14 athletes should be a safe guess for our final team size. Cross-Country Skiing (13 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 13 (6 men + 7 women) # of athletes in 2022: 9 (4 men + 5 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 12 # of events in 2022: 12 A boom of young talent (especially on the women's side) + the bans of Russia and Belarus have helped Canada qualify more athletes than they did 4 years ago. Currently, only 8 quotas per gender are official (1 each through the basic quota + 3 each through the Olympics Nations Ranking) with the extra allocations projected to take place after the qualification period is over on January 18. Curling (11 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 11 (5 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 12 (6 men + 6 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 3 # of events in 2022: 3 Canada has already qualified a team in men's and women's curling and the mixed doubles should also qualify. The only reason that the number is 11 and not 12 is because Brett Gallant is currently projected to qualify in both the men's and mixed doubles tournament but given the high level of competition in Canada, that could easily change. Figure Skating (12 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 12 (6 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 13 (7 men + 6 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 5 # of events in 2022: 5 The performances of Canadian figure skaters from the 2025 World Championships have earned Canada 7 quotas (1 man + 1 woman + 2 pairs + 3 ice dance) which results in 12 athletes. That number is locked in. That's 1 less athlete compared to 2022 (when Canada had an additional male quota). In addition, Canada is currently 5th on the team ranking list and is one of only 3 countries to qualify athletes in each event which should comfortably earn a them a spot in the team event. If the 2025 results determined the Olympic team, than the Canadian team would look something like this: Men: Roman Sadovsky Women: Madeline Schizas Pairs: Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps, Pereira/Michaud Ice Dance: Gilles/Poirier, Lajoie/Lagha, Fabbri/Ayer Freestyle Skiing (32 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 32 (16 men + 16 women) # of athletes in 2022: 32 (16 men + 16 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 15 # of events in 2022: 13 Qualifying the maximum quota of 32 athletes should be no problem. If there weren't any maximum quota restraints, then Canada would be projected to qualify 39 athletes (4 in each event except women's slopestyle/big air with 3) according to the current quota allocation list. However, the maximum quota of 32 athletes will result in some cuts. I tried to determine which quotas Canada would reject. The women's cuts weren't surprising: 2 in aerials + 1 in moguls/dual moguls. The men's cuts however, were a bit more unexpected: 1 in moguls/dual moguls + 1 in halfpipe + 2 in slopestyle/big air. The freeski team hasn't done too well this year. So based on the results from this year, this would be the projected Canadian team: Men: Aerials (4): Alexandre Duchaine, Lewis Irving, Miha Fontaine, Victor Primeau Moguls (3): Mikael Kingsbury, Julien Viel, Elliot Vaillancourt Ski Cross (4): Reece Howden, Kevin Drury, Jared Schmidt, Kristofer Mahler Halfpipe (3): Brendan MacKay, Andrew Longino, Dylan Marineau Slopestyle/Big Air (2): Evan McEachran, Dylan Deschamps Women: Aerials (2): Marion Thenault, Charlie Fontaine Moguls (3): Maia Schwinghammer, Laurianne Desmarais-Gilbert, Jessica Linton Ski Cross (4): India Sherret, Courtney Hoffos, Marielle Thompson, Abby McEwen (likely one of Schmidt or Phelan would replace McEwen) Halfpipe (4): Cassie Sharpe, Rachael Karker, Amy Fraser, Dillan Glennie Slopestyle/Big Air (3): Megan Oldham, Olivia Asselin, Skye Clarke Ice Hockey (48 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 48 (25 men + 23 women) # of athletes in 2022: 48 (25 men + 23 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 2 # of events in 2022: 2 Both men's and women's teams are already qualified. I do not watch enough hockey to due roster projections. Luge (6 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 6 (2 men + 4 women) # of athletes in 2022: 6 (3 men + 3 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 3 # of events in 2022: 4 Based on the results of the 2024-25 World Cup, Canada would qualify 2 sleds in women's singles, 1 in men's doubles and 1 in women's doubles. However, the men didn't start to compete until halfway through the season and finished only a few points behind the last athlete to qualify. The top athletes from the best 15 nations qualify so with a full season of results, 1 Canadian man should be able to qualify which would also give Canada a spot in the team relay. For the rest of the events, the current number of quotas should be pretty safe. Canada would have been in a position to qualify 3 athletes in women's singles under the old qualification system but the IOC reduced the # of quotas in women's singles to make room for women's doubles. Based on last year's results, this would be the luge team for the Olympics: Women's Singles (2): Caitlin Nash, Trinity Ellis (Embyr-Lee Susko will also challenge) Men's Doubles (1): Wardrope/Zajanski Women's Doubles (1): Podulsky/Allan Nordic Combined (0 athletes) No Short Track (10 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 10 (5 men + 5 women) # of athletes in 2022: 10 (5 men + 5 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 9 # of events in 2022: 9 Barring a complete catastrophe, Canada should easily qualify the maximum # of athletes in each discipline along with all relay teams. Skeleton (2 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 2 (0 men + 2 women) # of athletes in 2022: 3 (1 men + 2 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 1 # of events in 2022: 2 The men's team is in complete disarray. No one was ranked high enough on the World Rankings to earn a quota. The highest ranking Canadian was 51st. On the women's side, Mirela Rahneva's retirement meant that Canada is no longer projected to earn 3 quotas. Only 2 countries can qualify 3 quotas and our current 3rd athlete is not even close enough to Germany and Great Britain's 3rd athlete. Hallie Clarke and Jane Channell should easily be able to earn 2 quotas for Canada though. Hopefully the men can step up their game next season and help earn Canada a quota. Ski Jumping (3 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 3 (0 men + 3 women) # of athletes in 2022: 10 (1 men + 2 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 2 # of events in 2022: 4 Alexandria Loutitt, Abigail Strate and Nicole Maurer are all in comfortable position to qualify for next year's Olympics. No men competed in the World Cup or Continental Cup last year. Maybe some other ski jumpers will compete next year and have a chance at a quota. Ski Mountaineering (2 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 2 (1 men + 1 women) # of athletes in 2022: 0 Projected # of events in 2026: 3 # of events in 2022: 0 With 1 race remaining (per speculation), Canada is in a position to earn a mixed relay continental quota over the US by 1 POINT. Canada is 12th in the rankings while the US is 13th so if they can pass Sweden or Poland in the rankings, then they can still qualify through the World Rankings even if the US were to pass them. In the women's sprint, Emma Cook-Clarke is currently ranked 17th. If Canada doesn't qualify a mixed relay, she would have to pass 4 athletes in the rankings to qualify through the sprint rankings. Snowboarding (20 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 20 (10 men + 10 women) # of athletes in 2022: 23 (11 men + 12 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 10 # of events in 2022: 11 Through the allocation list, Canada is projected to qualify athletes in every event except for men's halfpipe. The athletes currently in qualification position are as follows: Men: Parallel Giant Slalom (2): Arnaud Gaudet, Ben Heldman Snowboard Cross (4): Eliot Grondin, Evan Bichon, Liam Moffatt, James Savard-Ferguson Slopestyle/Big Air (4): Cameron Spalding, Liam Brearley, Francis Jobin, Eli Bouchard Women: Parallel Giant Slalom (2): Aurelie Moisan, Kaylie Buck Snowboard Cross (4): Meryeta Odine, Audrey McManiman, Tess Critchlow, Rose Savard-Ferguson Halfpipe (3): Elizbeth Hosking, Felicity Geremia, Brooke Dhondt Slopestyle/Big Air (1): Laurie Blouin There are a few athletes that are close to being in qualification position. Liam Gill is 4 spots away from a quota in men's halfpipe, and Juliette Pelchat is the first unqualified athlete in women's slopestyle/big air. Jasmine Baird was also injured last season so if she's back in form next season, then she could also earn a quota. At the same time, a bunch of snowboard cross athletes just made the qualification list and both Savard-Ferguson's hold the last qualification spot. Speed Skating (13 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 13 (7 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 16 (8 men + 8 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 13 # of events in 2022: 14 I was a bit shocked to see only 13 projected athletes but it makes sense given the underwhelming 2024-25 World Cup season. The men's team pursuit was so bad that they didn't rank high enough to be projected for a quota which resulted in losing one projected athlete. Here's who's projected to qualify in each individual event. The women's athlete count was hurt by athletes like Blondin and Maltais qualifying for many events + earning only 2 out of 3 possible quotas in certain events. I would hope for 16 athletes per gender again. Men: 500m (3): Laurent Dubreuil, Anders Johnson, Christopher Fiola 1000m (3): Laurent Dubreuil, Connor Howe, Anders Johnson 1500m (2): Connor Howe, David la Rue 5000m (2): Ted-Jan Bloemen, Graeme Fish 10000m (2): Ted-Jan Bloemen, Graeme Fish Mass Start (1): David la Rue Women: 500m (2): Carolina Hiller, Beatrice Lamarche 1000m (2): Beatrice Lamarche, Rose Laliberte-Roy 1500m (2): Ivanie Blondin, Valerie Maltais 3000m (3): Isabelle Weidemann, Ivanie Blondin, Valerie Maltais 5000m (2): Isabelle Weidemann, Ivanie Blondin Mass Start (2): Ivanie Blondin, Valerie Maltais

Biedermann's super-suited world record is gone! Lukas Märtens Throws Down 3:39.96 WORLD RECORD In 400 Free, Breaking 2009 Super-Suited Mark

Yesterday, MSH clocked a 1:56.46 200 free time at the Canadian Open. That's 0.3 seconds faster than she was at the meet last year so hopefully a sign of good things to come this summer.

Final Pools have been announced. Colombia -> Pool A Brazil -> Pool B Taiwan -> Pool C Nicaragua -> Pool D

As probably one of the biggest swimming fans on the forum, not too thrilled about stroke 50's being added. There's already enough events. However, if it means that they're getting rid of semifinals for the 200m events, then that's a trade off I'll to take.

Made a minor update already. FIS updated the qualification standings for the snowboard slopestyle/big air despite the fact that I already gathered the data after the last event. My guess is that they forgot to adjust the standings so that only the top 6 slopestyle and top 4 big air results for each athlete count. This has resulted in the following changes in snowboard: +1 +1 -1 There is only one subtraction because on the men's side, Jonas Hasler is the athlete who now misses qualification but he is already qualified in the halfpipe so an extra quota is gained overall.

Is Marcel Hirscher still planning on competing?

Milano-Cortina 2026 Quota Simulation: 2024-25 Data Edition Hello fellow Totallympians and welcome to another quota simulation. This time, the focus has shifted over to the winter Olympics. There's still a ski mountaineering world cup and some a few world championships to go but I thought I would post this while everyone is still in winter sports mode. I'll post minor updates if any data changes over the next month but I don't there'll be many changes. There's a few things to note before we begin. Total # of NOC's Overall, we have a total of 88 NOC's that are qualified/projected to qualify for the Olympics. This would represent a decrease of 4 NOC's from the 91 nations in Beijing although Russia and Belarus were competing separately then. On the other hand, with Russia/Belarus being limited to how many sports and how many athletes they can qualify, many of the major winter sports nations are projected to have their largest team ever. Russian/Belarusian athletes Speaking of Russia and Belarus, they are included in this simulation and just like in 2024, it was very annoying to factor them in considering they didn't compete in competitions in the last year at all (besides ski mountaineering). I've only included these athletes in the skating sports and ski mountaineering. The ISU has already announced a pathway for Russian/Belarusian athletes to qualify and neutral athletes are already competing in the ski mountaineering competitions. Russia was easy to simulate since it was safe to assume that one athlete would qualify in each event. Belarus was a bit harder and involved me looking at individual times/scores for their athletes this year. At the end of the day, I decided to include Belarusians in women's singles and pairs for figure skating and the men's 500m & 1000m along with all of the women's events in speed skating. All of the women's speed skating events may be a bit too generous but that was how it was in 2022. Total # of athletes In total, 2874 athletes are projected to qualify from this simulation. This is despite the athlete cap being at 2900. There are a few reasons for this discrepancy. Bobsleigh: Only 162 of the maximum 170 quotas were used. Curling: Only 109 of the maximum 120 quotas were used. This is due to certain players being simulated to play in both the mixed doubles and 4 person events resulting in them taking up two quotas. Figure Skating: The additional 5 quotas allowed for the team event were used here. After simulating the final qualifying event, only Canada, France, Georgia, Italy and the USA had full teams so I gave an additional quotas to Great Britain in men's singles, Japan in ice dance, and South Korea in Pairs. Freestyle Skiing: Only 277 quotas were used here compared to the maximum 284 quotas. The women's halfpipe looks like it will have trouble filling up their 25 quotas as only 23 quotas were used and I believe 5 athletes simulated currently do not have the required amount of FIS points to be eligible. Men's aerials and women's ski cross originally had enough athletes to fill up the allotted quota. However, Canada and the USA were over the maximum limit so after simulating rejected quotas, those events didn't have enough athletes to fill the allotted quotas and women's aerials just made it. Henry Sildaru (EST) is also projected to qualify in both men's halfpipe and slopestyle/big air. Luge: Only 105 of the maximum 106 quotas were used here because Wolfgang Kindl (AUT) is projected to qualify in both men's singles and men's doubles Snowboarding: Only 237 of the maximum 238 quotas were used here. Cody Winters (USA) is projected to qualify in both PGS and snowboard cross. In addition, there are also 3 athletes expected to compete in multiple sports: Phillip Bellingham (AUS) in cross-country skiing and ski mountaineering, Ester Ledecka (CZE) in alpine skiing, and snowboarding, and Arianna Fontana (ITA) in short track and speed skating. Please let me know if there's any other possible athletes that could also be in this list. Internal qualification procedures Internal qualification procedures for countries like the Netherlands and New Zealand WERE NOT taken into account this time for the sole reason because it's fun seeing the Netherlands have an athlete in Nordic Combined Differences from the FIS quota simulations If you have a look at the FIS quota simulations on their webpages for alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, freestyle skiing, and snowboarding, you'll notice there are some differences. Alpine Skiing: NOC's with a man or woman that hasn't qualified yet were taken into account. If the athlete hasn't had the required amount of races to qualify but is averaging the necessary amount of points to qualify, I simulated them as qualified (e.g. Morocco). Cross-Country Skiing: FIS only simulated 138 quotas in each gender. I reallocated the remaining 10 quotas per gender based on the Olympic nations' ranking. There is a clause that if an unqualified NOC scores 300 points or less in a world cup race next season, they can qualify. However, that is very unlikely to happen (unless Russia and Belarus are invited back) since there are already athletes from qualified NOC's competing in World Cup races that get lapped. Freestyle Skiing: I took into account Canada and the USA rejecting quotas since they were both initially over the 32 athlete quota limit. I had Canada rejecting 2 quotas in women's aerials, 1 each per gender in moguls, 1 in men's halfpipe, and 2 in men's slopestyle/big air. I had the USA rejecting 1 quota in men's aerials, 1 in men's ski cross, and 2 in women's ski cross. Snowboard: Two athletes in women's snowboard cross were not eligible to qualify and were replaced with athletes on the reserve list that were eligible. Speaking of athlete eligibility, there were some athletes that were simulated by FIS that didn't meet eligiblity requirements. I decided that if there was an eligible athlete on the reserve list, then the ineligible athlete would be replaced but if there wasn't an eligible athlete on the reserve list, I would keep the ineligible athlete in the quota list (e.g. Vanuatu in freeski halfpipe). Anyways, that's enough talking. Let's begin! The numbers in brackets represent the change from the NOC's athlete total at Beijing 2022.

He's done it! Greatest goal scorer in NHL history

Meanwhile, there is apparently a swimmer named Autumn McIntosh Ward, McIntosh Lead Group Of Fast Swimmers At Missouri Valley Age Group Championships Now we just need a Spring McIntosh and a Winter McIntosh to complete the full set.

Two notable swims from today. First Kyle Chalmers put up a time of 47.27 in the 100m freestyle at the Bergen Swim Festival. However, he was outdone later in the day by Luca Urlando who put up a 200m butterfly time of 1:52.37 at the Pro Swim Series . That ranks him as the 4th fastest performer of all time and the 14th fastest performance of all time.

This will be complicated even more by the fact that Russia and possibly Belarus will take quotas from teams that could use them for the team event.

Men's Quotas: 3 quotas: 2 quotas: 1 quota: are able to send another athlete to the final qualifier

Gilles/Poirier win silver at the world championships. Lajoie/Lagha finish 7th.

Ice Dance Quotas: 3 quotas: 2 quotas: 1 quota: are able to send another team to the final qualifier is the team to miss out

3 quotas officially secured in ice dance

Asselin missed a bronze by 0.75

Really high level on display in the men's big air final. 6 scores over 90+ just in round 1.

Women's Quotas: 3 quotas: 2 quotas: 1 quota: are able to send another skater to the final qualifier. One quota from these world championships will be reallocated to the final qualifier because Switzerland wasn't able to fulfill the requirements for two skaters.

NOC's qualified for the free dance (and eligible for earn Olympic quotas): x3 x3 x2 x2 x2 x2 20 teams qualified but only 19 will earn quotas.

Looks like Fabbri/Ayer are in track to be the first team to miss the free dance meaning they would have to qualify at the final qualifier of the top two pairs get enough placement points to earn 3 quotas

World championships gold for Grondin!

Pairs Quotas: 2 quotas: 1 quota: are able to enter another team at the final qualifying competition

So all earned at least one men's quota. have the opportunity to earn 3 quotas have the opportunity to earn two quotas
