Sadly :NGR and :GHA will likely not qualify due to new qualification rules in Bobsleigh/Skeleton

 

:ASA might return through their naturalized skeleton racer.

 

:NEP and :GUA have CC skiers looking for qualification. The former two just missed out in 2018.

 

:NGR has a cross country skier with a chance of qualification.

 

:NEP and :GUA skiers will not be eligible since they didn’t compete at the 2021 U23 or Senior Nordic World Championships.

Apparently :KGZ failing to send cross country skiers to the Olympics isn’t that odd. They’ve actually competed more times in Biathlon (3 appearances), then they have in cross country (2 appearances). 
 

Worth noting that they did send 2 cross country skiers to the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics.

Well, they have a competent skier (Pyeongchang Olympian) who competed multiple times in Kazakhstan this season.

They definitely have skiers who could qualify, they just didn’t show up to the World Champs for whatever reason.

:PAN has a cross country skier (51 years old) trying to qualify 

 

:VIE:CAM have bobsled/skeleton teams training in South Korea. Highly doubtful they qualify, but worth keeping an eye out on.

 

:TJK has a couple of skiers trying to qualify, not currently in range to do so, however.

He doesn't have any FIS results though, so besides the qualifying period being over (in terms of gaining quotas), what's he doing? :p
