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! I think Alpine Should have been cut to 8-10 as well. Though as I said, I’m saving my opinion and observations for the podcast. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

intoronto 4,202 Posted December 26, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Also alpine sees max score from 120 to 160, but iirc it got harder to get lower scores, not sure if that balances it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, Snowboarding should make a move to create it’s own federation at this point. The cuts weren’t horrible, but the FIS has made it clear who they value more. Why the fuck, weren’t Nordic Combined quotas cut? intoronto 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Half of the athletes sent by larger nations never end up keeping anyway. The IOCs idea was to stop that (and rightfully so). “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

intoronto 4,202 Posted December 26, 2019 #19 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Short Track Speed Skating Qualification System.pdf (minus 8 quotas) Speed Skating Qualification System.pdf (minus 14 quotas, and reduction of field sizes for all events (minus the longer ones) We all know which discipline the ISU prefers, smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,156 Posted December 26, 2019 #20 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Random good news: the per-country maximum in freestyle skiing went up from 30 to 32 (but only for countries taking part in the mixed team aerials event). Should really be a max of 40 per country (the 30 per country limit caused many events to have unused quotas), but an improvement is an improvement.
