QUALIFICATION SYSTEM To determine how many athletes may be entered by each country there is based on Olympic Quota Allocation List (hereinafter QAL), which is a ranking that takes into account the points obtained by leaping in every competition of the World Cup and Summer Grand Prix held between July 1, 2012 and January 19, 2014.
In the Olympic race every nation is entitled to a number of pectoral equal to the number of their athletes entered in the first 30 positions of the QAL. The maximum quota for each country is 4 places, so in the event that a nation has more than four girls in the top-30 of the QAL, any further addition to the four best jumpers will be ignored for the purposes of Olympic qualification.
 PROJECTIONS The seats are not nominal, every athlete wearing a bib to their nation, but they will decide who to field technicians in Sochi. However, knowing the number of qualifying races and the points so far made by each jumper you can make a projection on the steps needed to occupy one of the top 30 positions of the QAL and thus determine which girls have in fact already won a place for their federation and chest which are instead still in the balance.
SITUATION - 26 NUMBERS ASSEGNATIAlla light of the results of the 31 qualifying races run so far we can say that the athletes in the top 26 positions have the place secured. Therefore, the pectoral already distributed are as follows:
4 SLOVENIA4 Germany3 STATES UNITI3 Canada2 France2 Austria2 Japan2 Norway2 ITALIA1 Russia1 FINLAND
RACE TO 4'' PETTORALIL absence of Lea Lemare, as well as of the whole French team, is in line purely theoretical risk in light of the third pectoral movement transalpine previously taken for granted.
In fact, the seventeen year old Albertville will mark points and as a result there is a faint possibility that come out of the 30.
In fact it is a rather unlikely hypothesis'', as well as to see out of the 30 Norwegian Maren Lundby.
Basically for the 4 pecs not yet allocated the situation is as follows: - 2 booked from France and Norway-1-1 probably destined for Japan poised between a half-dozen athletes
These positions QAL on the eve of the competition Zao.

NOTE BENEWatase and Hughes have the same points, but the Japanese is to be considered under the thirtieth best result obtained on the qualification period (fourth place in front of one-ninth of the U.S.).
ANALISISi already mentioned'' s absence in France. Similarly miss the'' Austria and Slovenia.
In other words, the competition to get into the top ten is reduced thus increases the chances of getting results in weight for female athletes generally relegated to the second half of the points.
NORWAY: In light of the presence of Helena Olsson Smeby can groped'' s assault on the quota of 4 seats. JAPAN: The nation with less certainty. If it should turn all right pecs would be 4, but if all things go the wrong way only 2.
UNITED STATES: 3 or 4 bibs, depends on the efficiency of Abby Hughes, less than sensational exploits of Alissa Johnson.
NETHERLANDS, SWITZERLAND, CZECH REPUBLIC: all in the running to get one bib in Sochi. '' The Dutch Wendy Wuik but so far has remained far away from the points, but his hopes are reduced to a flicker.
'' The Swiss Bigna Windmüller has real possibilities to enter among the 30, but must be expressed at its best hope for a slip of direct competitors (especially Smeby).
The Czech Michaela Dolezelova seems rather a contender only theoretical. The separation and competition should be too high to hope to break the bank, except for sensational results propitiated by luck.
