This was also the Brazilian goal, but one might wonder how much of it is still alive. At the very least Jaque Mourão will have to start in all the other races she can do (because yes, there has indeed apparently been an exception made so not only yesterday's top-2 is qualified, as was rumoured yesterday). Interestingly, Greece and Lithuania remain without a basic quota, but might get one based off their ranking. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

dcro 10,179 Posted February 25, 2021 #222 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Not bad. Lithuanian 15-year olds are sitting ducks, while the likes of Armenia, Greece or even Thailand are beatable. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Wikipedia is wrong, to the shock of no one. Anyway, this means no cheap quota for Lithuanian women this time. Today was their last chance @Werloc #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was their last chance @Werloc Well, Lithuania could actually get one quota through the Nation’s Ranking, even though they’ll miss the opportunity to get a basic quota. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Werloc 3,127 Posted February 25, 2021 #227 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Honestly, should Lithuania care? Our cc-skiing is absolutely abyssmal, I just hope Dainytė gets bribed to join biathlon, she only lost 2:39 to Bendika, that's salvagable, very very salvagable.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted February 25, 2021 #228 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Curious which countries are going for last-ditch qualifying efforts at the Engadin World Cup in two weeks.. 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! Full story and how to help can be found here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they didn't care much as it is. Just sending Kočergina to Oberstdorf for a training run would have been quite enough to earn qualification (which would then be transferrable to one of the youngsters). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the camera didn't show that. And yes, I was specifically waiting for Ceci because we are always supporting each other despite of our races against each other in South America Agger, hckošice, dcro and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
