It might be why they’re going for it more than other countries. All the other countries on the bubble already have a guaranteed quota, so it’s only a bonus quota for them. Also, I see nothing wrong with Lithuania entering a relay. I actually quite like the new qualification system. I do think it could be refined here and here, but overall it seems to be a good qualification system. It’s increased the importance of the World Championships for smaller countries, added a little more tension, and has a fair distribution of quotas that both encourages participation of smaller countries, and still rewards those at the top.

Uh...unless I missed something, they never got a basic quota, so this would be only one quota for them.

Yep, California is in for a difficult year.

Here’s a nice article about Myles Amine : https://www.eurolympic.org/road-to-tokyo-olympic-journey-a-family-affair-for-san-marino-wrestler/

@dezbee2008 you taking the year off or what?

With the current allocation, including the 2-3 basic quotas picked up today, there should be 20 NOCs with at least four female skiers.

Welcome to the forum @FancyFenchel!

Might have more to do with some countries Covid measures then a lack of entries. Singapore had an entry at the 2018 World Champs and Rio 2016, but they haven’t turned up...

@MHSN CAS ruled that the Iranian Judo Federation couldn’t be banned indefinitely, but could have their ban/sanctions reassessed by the IJF according to the proper rules. Here’s a better explanation/story:

Just a small note, but I really like the new FISU pictograms: https://www.fisu.net/sports/all-sports I think it’s part of the new branding they adopted last year, and I have to say, the logo/pictograms/etc. look modern, colorful, and professional.

It’s all good, you explained it much better than I did anyways. Bachelors Degree in Olympic Quota Mathematics, Masters Degree in Olympic Qualification Law

@LowerSaxony Brazil could get a second quota through D.2 if they’re in the top 30, but you’re absolutely right about reallocation as well. My math worked out identical as well when I did the calculations a few days ago, so I think all of this is correct. Edit: Misread the original post, so my comment about D.2 was already covered.

I was just about to comment that Serbia is on their way to getting a quota, even though they missed their opportunity for a basic quota. In case that wasn’t clear, Serbia should get a quota should they remain in the top 30.

I’d never heard of this song before, but what a powerful, powerful song.

There’s currently no other Thai skiers that meet the basic eligibility requirement (FIS Points under 300).
