I've heard German Madrazo's name quite often in the past few years, part of the infamous Project Bogota to qualify for Pyeongchang, did he grow his participation into some attention for the sport? Well, he received a lot of publicity after he competed at Pyeongchang, and some people started training, aiming to compete at the Olympics. Between late 2018 - early2020, between 3-5 skiers, a woman included, managed to attend cross country competitions in USA, Canada and even Finland, and this year finally one of them finished with less than 300 points in one of them. According to Chef of Mission, they will support cross country skiers all through the qualification period (as well as the alpine skiers and our skaters), so they can obtain a quota. I know Mexico is far from expecting a medal at the Winter Games in the next 20 years at least, but I think establishing a small group of athletes capable of fighting for a spot is worth it.

As arguably the world's leading non-Brazilian follower of Brazilian women's cross-country, I could not agree more with this NearPup and mrv86 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!

JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted February 12, 2021 #23 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Here's my simulation of the number of athletes for each country. Note I did not take into account injuries (or people missing out due to COVID) and potential athletes that will reactivate themselves during the 2021-2022 season (since I have no information on them). In total 91 nations will participate. Let's see how far off I am in 2022. Albania - 1 American Samoa - 1 Andorra - 5 Argentina - 9 Armenia - 4 Australia - 34 Austria - 110 Azerbaijan - 3 Belarus - 38 Belgium - 18 Bolivia - 2 Bosnia and Herzegovina - 5 Brazil - 8 Bulgaria - 15 Canada - 206 Cayman Islands - 1 Chile - 3 China - 167 Colombia - 1 Croatia - 9 Cyprus - 1 Czech Republic - 114 Denmark - 3 Ecuador - 2 Estonia - 26 Finland - 98 France - 97 Georgia - 7 Germany - 181 Great Britain - 62 Greece - 5 Haiti - 1 Hong Kong - 3 Hungary - 13 Iceland - 5 Iran - 4 Ireland - 4 Israel - 4 Italy - 129 Jamaica - 1 Japan - 134 Kazakhstan - 31 Kenya - 1 Kosovo - 1 Kyrgyzstan - 1 Latvia - 61 Lebanon - 3 Liechtenstein - 6 Lithuania - 12 Luxembourg Madagascar - 1 Malaysia - 2 Malta - 1 Mexico - 2 Moldova - 5 Monaco - 6 Mongolia - 2 Montenegro - 3 Morocco - 1 Netherlands - 42 New Zealand - 16 Nigeria - 2 North Korea - 2 North Macedonia - 3 Norway - 115 Pakistan - 2 Peru - 2 Philippines - 1 Poland - 51 Portugal - 2 Puerto Rico - 1 Romania - 21 Russia - 209 San Marino - 1 Serbia - 5 Slovakia - 48 Slovenia - 45 South Africa - 1 South Korea - 69 Spain - 13 Sweden - 117 Switzerland - 178 Chinese Taipei - 3 Thailand - 4 Timor-Leste - 1 Trinidad and Tobago - 1 Turkey - 6 Ukraine - 41 United States - 219 Uzbekistan - 1 Virgin Islands - 1 mrv86, MHSN, rafalgorka and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laraja 1,331 Posted February 12, 2021 #26 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I am not a big fan of winter sports, but I will try... Brazil Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2022 Beijing Ski Sports Alpine Skiing (2) - Usually we have at least one man and one woman competing. There is a guy with some potential. Cross Country Skiing (2) - Also, usually a man and a woman. Ski Jumping (0) - No way Nordic Combined (0) - No way Freestyle Skiing (0) - we had two athletes training for this sport for Sochi, but a terrible accident happened with one of them. I think the other athlete participated at 2018, but I am not sure. I dont know how it is now. Snowboarding (1) - Isabel retired, we have a young guy on cross. I dont know if he will be able to qualify for this Olympic. Biathlon (0) - I am not sure, but I believe that we dont have big chances here. Skating Sports Speed Skating (0) - I dont know any athlete Short Track Speed Skating (0) - I dont know any athlete Figure Skating (1) - Isadora Willians probably will qualify again. Sleigh Sports Luge (0) - I dont know any athlete Skeleton (1) - Nicole is in a great performance. Bobsleigh (5) - 1 women's monobob and I am expecting 4-man Team Sports Curling (0) - we love curling here, but no way hahaha Ice Hockey (0) - we dont even qualify in Field Hockey hahaha Total Optimistic Prediction - (12) Total Pessimistic Prediction - (5) Total Realistic Prediction - (7) rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly looked at recent results and compared it to the sport's qualification system. I didn't keep tabs on specific people since for some sports it's done through nation rankings (and the project was ambitious enough already). I also assumed every nation will accept all their quotas (which likely won't happen). For Poland the sport breakdown is... Alpine Skiing - 3 Biathlon - 8 Cross-country Skiing - 7 Figure Skating - 2 Luge - 4 Nordic Combined - 4 Short Track Speed Skating - 4 Ski Jumping - 7 Snowboarding - 3 Speed Skating - 9 rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be happy if just 1 athlete will qualify, most of our guys retired two seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the qualification document, they wanted 10 nations to participate in the team event (they reserved quotas to ensure that) so Poland benefited from that. It's either them or Estonia, the depth in Nordic Combined is very shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
