If he can get his points under 300, they’ll have a cross country skier too! “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Laraja 1,331 Posted February 12, 2021 #33 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Colombia has also a good skater. I dont know if he has a real chance to qualify though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Denmark - 3 Pretty interesting that you have us at only 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, they just barely missed out in both curling teams and men's ice hockey. Do you know if Denmark is restricting travel by more than other nations? I noticed places with more restrictions (e.g. Australia) have smaller teams than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed places with more restrictions (e.g. Australia) have smaller teams than expected. Not for athletes. However it should be mentioned that some skiers have their base in Norway or USA which may have an impact. But some athletes (like speed skater Viktor Hald Thorup) haven't prioritized competing this year as well. I strongly question that we'll qualify in curling. The federation has lost most of the funding meaning that there's been no way to prioritize. But well, we're in the Worlds, so maybe. I have us as small favourites for the men's ice hockey, but that's not the first time. To me the main question would be how tough the national qualification will be. We should be able to qualify more than 3 (also without ice hockey, but how many will actually be selected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt Cayman Islands will qualify. They have no current active skier (their athlete who qualified in 2018, retired before the games) Are you expecting 2 sleds in the men's 2 men to qualify for Monaco?

Azerbaijan stands a good chance of qualification in the women’s single and men’s single. Monaco should be able to get a 4-man sled. “Sport has the power to change the world.
