Olympian1010 7,479 Posted February 24, 2021 #161 Share Posted February 24, 2021 5 minutes ago, Braulio said: Can you explain why Bendika participation damaged the qualification process of many NOC? Sorry if explained before, did not read anywhere else Yeah, it has do with how FIS Points work. Bendika was seeded much lower than she should be, since she normally competes in Biathlon. Because a “weaker” skier won the race, the points were factored higher than if a lower seeded skier had won. Becuase Bendika skied so fast, and was ranked so low, the FIS Points were factored in a difficult manner for slower athletes. Hopefully that makes sense, maybe someone like @heywoodu could explain it more eloquently than me. Braulio 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

mrv86 2,924 Posted February 25, 2021 #162 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I managed to watch RAI's coverage of both races. Jonathan Soto actually has enough knowledge of how to ski on snow. Hopefully, he'll earn some worthy results that help him to be under 300 points by January 22 next year. BTW, Italian comentator stated that Greenland was a Norwegian territory a couple of times . The man needs a remedial geopolitics course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,560 Posted February 25, 2021 #163 Share Posted February 25, 2021 And we're underway with the women's sprint qualifying! 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!

Jaque Mourao is simply stronger at the moment, especially her race yesterday was very impressive. hckošice 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!
