heywoodu 13,502 Posted August 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2019 My favourite and most tense thread on Totallympics at the moment, let's go! Function CR Lee and phelps 1 1 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!

heywoodu 13,502 Posted August 25, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Rumour has it the cross-country qualifying is going to get a big change. No longer will being under 300 FIS points be enough, but first a nation has to get a quota, which can be earned (apparently) through the World Cups and World Championships (junior, U23 and senior) and only then can a nation send an athlete who is under 300 points. Much like the biathlon system. Good on one hand, but whether or not I'm happy with it depends on the amount of nations who can qualify through this system. If it's as shitty as in biathlon, that'd suck big time.

I've always said the current FIS points system is terrible and makes it completely impossible to somewhat compare athletes. The IBU points are way better, too bad IBU sucks so bad in publishing them (it's as good as impossible to keep track of the list) whereas FIS is great at that.

There no longer appears to be any reserved continental spots in bobsleigh or skeleton. Well, bobsleigh didn’t suffer terrible cuts (so thank the powers that be). Skeleton on the hand... That’s a shame to me. A lot of the “smaller” nations can afford to fund skeleton, and we’ve seen some untraditional nations athletes do well at the games. Losing 18% of athletes is one of most dramatic cuts we’ll see (at least in the short term). I am glad they preserved four-man, but on the other hand, I would have preferred 30 in both the skeleton fields and 25 in the four-man. Also, quite a big deal to see the regional clause cut. There’s almost no reason for non-traditional nations to even try and qualify under this system. Qualification just to got exponentially harder in most events. mrv86 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

The episode should be out late tonight/early tomorrow. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Great news!! Big countries have a long tradition of sending 20 athletes, and then only letting 13-15 compete. If there ever was a waste of quotas! intoronto and Olympian1010 2 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
