Updated Freestyle Skiing Qualification Rankings
 
Selection criteria.
 
For the men, Julien Viel, Miha Fontaine and Dylan Marineau all moved up 1 tier or more.
 
For the women, Marion Thenault, Megan Oldham, and Jessica Linton all moved up 1 tier or more.
 
A few other athletes also put themselves within the first five tiers of Method B but don't have enough placment points to qualify.
 
The biggest things to watch out for final qualifying week:
It's likely going to come down to Elliott Vaillancourt vs. Max Moffatt for the final spot on the Olympic team. Vaillancourt has one more placement point than Moffatt does. He has the advantage with having two competitions this week compared to one for Moffatt but the latter is in the better form coming off a 6th place finish last week in Aspen which was his best finish of the qualification period. You might have noticed that Elena Gaskell doesn't show up here and that's because despite winning a medal last weekend, her top 3 finishes during the qualification period sum up to over 22 points nor does she have 3 finishes in the top 16. As a result, she finds herself in tier 6 and on the outside looking in (although maybe she could be discretionally selected?). So if she finishes inside the top 16 this weekend in Laax, she'll be off to the Olympics. Otherwise, the final spot in slopestyle/big air will go to Skye Clarke.

I get it now, barely gotten any sleep sorry 

There's only 4 spots in slopestyle/big air and since, Oldham, Asselin, and Urness are already occupying the top 3 spots, the final spot comes down to Gaskell or Clarke. Because Gaskell already has a 3rd and a 10th place finish this year, any result in the top 16 should place her ahead of Clarke.
 
Koehler's results won't have an impact.

Updated Freestyle Skiing Qualification Rankings
 
Selection criteria.
 
For the men, Julien Viel, Miha Fontaine and Dylan Marineau all moved up 1 tier or more.
 
For the women, Marion Thenault, Megan Oldham, and Jessica Linton all moved up 1 tier or more.
 
A few other athletes also put themselves within the first five tiers of Method B but don't have enough placment points to qualify.
 
The biggest things to watch out for final qualifying week:
It's likely going to come down to Elliott Vaillancourt vs. Max Moffatt for the final spot on the Olympic team. Vaillancourt has one more placement point than Moffatt does. He has the advantage with having two competitions this week compared to one for Moffatt but the latter is in the better form coming off a 6th place finish last week in Aspen which was his best finish of the qualification period. You might have noticed that Elena Gaskell doesn't show up here and that's because despite winning a medal last weekend, her top 3 finishes during the qualification period sum up to over 22 points nor does she have 3 finishes in the top 16. As a result, she finds herself in tier 6 and on the outside looking in (although maybe she could be discretionally selected?). So if she finishes inside the top 16 this weekend in Laax, she'll be off to the Olympics. Otherwise, the final spot in slopestyle/big air will go to Skye Clarke.

Abby McEwen is injured and hasn’t raced all season so you will have to account for her not being able to be on the team. She posted on instagram a couple weeks ago her season is done.

Updated my medal projections from last March. Have Canada winning 26, up from 23 (mostly thanks to an improvement in our distance speed skating prospects, thank you Ms. Weidemann). Overall that would leave us 5th for total medals
 
USA - 35
GER - 34
NOR - 31
ITA - 28
CAN - 26

Again, these projections are highly unscientific and and nothing more than an exercise in my willingness to be wrong in public

Italy is setting up to have a helluva boost from the home Olympics 

*Again, these projections are highly unscientific and and nothing more than an exercise in my willingness to be wrong in public

What a start to the indoor season. 2 new Canadian U23 records
 
Christopher Morales Williams 32.46 300m
John O'Reilly - 1:16.52 600m 

Canada will most likely be rejecting 3 women's aerial's quotas and accepting all 4 men's quotas. US will probably accept all 8 quotas.

Aerials are done
 

Nadeau is locked in.
 
Unfortunately, I don't think Montminy will make it. At minimum, she needs 3 finishes in the top 16 during the qualification period and she only has 2.

Ok I finally have all the scoreboard templates ready to go for the Grand Final too.
 
Now need to come up with something for the Opening Ceremony . I will probably use much of the material I used for my hosting of TISC Open 2015 so any of you oldies who are tuning in since the old Totallympics forum, you might remember some of it. But since we can no longer access it, why not bring it back (if I can remember any of it  ).
 
Also does anyone have any ideas for a team competition with 34 nations that would be quick and easy to organise?? Still not sure I can fit it in but open to suggestions on how we can get one in as convenient and easily as possible  

Bronze for Miha Fontaine in men’s aerials at the Lake Placid WC!
 
Also 5th for Nadeau

Broke down some numbers of what is still in doubt:
For 3 sleds men and women are done.
For two sleds there is no competition left in men's (  doesn't enter a WC race and secures two?) but in women's its  Erlacher vs  Channel and Erlacher needs to finish probably four positions ahead in final WC race.
 
For one sled, in men's, Takahashi or  Yaw will have to enter a EC or WC race for the first time this year, or it is over. Even if they do they have to gain about 50 points over their current 7th best result, so they would need to score about 100. So men's probably done, unless  Buff does not compete again, even then he could still make it.
 
The women's final few placements could be chaotic and will really depend on who decides to race where on the final weekend. Looking at current 7 best results  Schmied has 492,  Johansen has 493,   Delka has 524, and  Burger has 538. For Delka to miss out then the lower two need to both finish top 20 in a WC or I think top 7 in a EC. They both have a 7th best score of 36 they have to improve on, and who knows if Delka will race one more time or not.

We don't have to worry about that because Schizas bounced back in the free and won the Canadian title so it should be her that's selected.

First careers 11 points for Hektor Kapustík and yes first  M WC points since 2005  Well done Hektor !
 
His sister yesterday & today won first ever W WC points.
 
A weekend of history for the nonexistant slovak ski jumping. I am really happy that I had the chance to see it. I remember Mesík farewells in Vancouver and then came the looooong years of sorrowful emptility until arrived the young Kapustík siblings
 
Wish both will qualify to the Olympics, that would be amazing
