Olympian1010 7,418 Posted January 1, 2021 Author #2 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Now that we’ve entered 2021, and there’s the prospect of some qualification events being held in the next few months, I felt like now was a good time to open this thread. Here we will keep a list of NOCs debuting, combing back, returning, and missing from the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

intoronto 4,077 Posted January 1, 2021 #5 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I think is a safe bet to qualify through their 2020 Youth Olympian I believe skier is retired ? Not 100% on this, so they likely won't compete. has a skier and not sure if he will try to qualify. Julia Marino will try again for may compete again depending on their NOC Sadly and will likely not qualify due to new qualification rules in Bobsleigh/Skeleton might return through their naturalized skeleton racer. and have CC skiers looking for qualification. The former two just missed out in 2018. Olympian1010 and Benolympique 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominica actually tried qualifying for 2018 but didn't send anyone. They got very bad publicity in 2014, so unlikely they want to repeat that. Zimbabwe's athlete is more or less retired.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted January 1, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted January 1, 2021 has an active skeleton athlete on the men’s side, but it’s very unlikely he’ll qualify without the continental quota. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Maybe Swaney can represent one of them in the halfpipe... “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I’d imagine they’ll attempt Olympic qualification too. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
