Snowboard at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

Something strange in Halfpipe (men):
:GER won 3 quotas but only nominated André Höflich as the other two German athletes did not achieve the national qualification requirement

 

BUT: According to the official FIS page German NOC accepted all three quotas :question:

I already sent a mail to the DOSB and asked them for an explanation. It is not a common precedure to accept quotas and don't nominate athletes in Germany (e.g. we declined two quotas in womens freestyle moguls as well).

Does anyone has further information on this?

Poppe did get a 6th in Calgary though, and beat Smans in both big air World Cups she competed in...but yeah. Drama indeed.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Maybe the Nf accepted with the condition of NOC approval,

Well they picked her as their flag bearer so I am guessing the NOC is in the loop.  Still weird though. https://www.coa.ad/maeva-estevez-classificada-per-beijing-2022/

Germany, Canada and Andorra (probably more) have had issues with the FIS list, so I think its a FIS issue.

Looks like Canada has reaccepted 4 of the 5 quotas it declined in PGS. 3 Of the 4 athletes who stand to go now all posted they are going to the Olympics 3 days ago on Instagram.

 

Now I think the federation did not want to send them, these 4 appealed and it ruled in the favour. There has been no word from the COC or Snowboard Canada. This is all strange and bizarre. Ranks at the top for me for weird team selection stories. Congrats to the athletes and this brings Canada back to the second largest team.

It’s on the Beijing 2022 entries. Sébastien Beaulieu, Kaylie Buck, Jennifer Hawkrigg and Jules Lefebvre have all been added to the team.

 

Absolutely no word about this from Snowboard Canada xD
