The operation of the qualification is explained in detail in the head in this article. Without wanting to dwell too much just remember that the quotas for each country are determined based on the number of athletes present in the early 70'' s Olympic Quota Allocation List (QAL).
'' The incongruity, however, regards the list of alternates or reserves, athletes not entered among the best 70'' s Olympic Quota Allocation List.
But this is a key issue because most likely some nations will give up part of its quota, in particular Switzerland and France would be willing to deploy only 2 athletes (thus avoiding even the team trials).
Therefore in all likelihood the list of repechage, which will complement FIS members (70 athletes), will award pectoral Olympic Games in Sochi. The following is the correct list: 1) SOUTH KOREA (Third pectoral) 2) CANADA (Third pectoral) 3) SOUTH KOREA (Fourth pectoral) 4) ROMANIA (First pectoral) 5) CANADA (Fourth pectoral) 6) ESTONIA (Second pectoral) 7) GREECE (First pectoral) 8) UNITED STATES (Fifth pectoral) 9) KAZAKHSTAN (According pectoral) 10) ROMANIA (According pectoral) 11) SWEDEN (First pectoral) 12) KAZAKHSTAN (Third pectoral) 13) ESTONIA (Third pectoral) 14) KAZAKHSTAN (Fourth pectoral) 15) SWEDEN (According pectoral) 16) UKRAINE (First pectoral) 17) ITALY (Fifth pectoral) 18) THE NETHERLANDS (First pectoral) 19) THE NETHERLANDS (According pectoral) 20) SLOVAKIA (First pectoral ) 21) THE NETHERLANDS (Third pectoral)
Here's what it looks like instead according to the quotas issued by FIS on Monday (downloadable at this address). This list is repechage page 11.
As you can see the'' unique'' s share of the repechage Italy is not the seventeenth, but the first installment of terza.La repechage of Kazakhstan is the ninth, but the fourth. The sensational case of Slovakia whose share of the repechage is the fifth instead of the twentieth!
This order is established on the basis of points obtained in the Continental Cup between July 1, 2012 and January 19, 2013 by all athletes never entered the top-30 in the World Cup or the Summer Grand Prix, the nations involved.
Reveal ERROREL'' L'' is egregious error committed by the FIS and can be stripped very easily.
We take as reference points the share of Repechage'' s Italy, Slovakia and that of that of Greece as Dellasega Diego, Tomas Zmoray and Nico Polychronidis jumpers are the only nations to have their respective points of Continental Cup without having won in Cup World / Grand Prix, therefore they can be identified with certainty even'' s internal ranking of this "bust".
Diego Dellasega during qualifying at the Olympic Games (July 1, 2012 - JANUARY 19, 2013) has played 23 games for the Continental Cup, getting just one points finish (28th place). His results are easily verifiable through the website of the FIS by clicking on these words. Therefore Diego Dellasega has 3 points of Continental Cup for the QAL.
Tomas Zmoray during qualifying at the Olympic Games (July 1, 2012 - JANUARY 19, 2013) has played 10 games for the Continental Cup, getting just one points finish (29th place). His results are easily verifiable through the website of the FIS by clicking on these words. Therefore features 2 Continental Cup for the QAL.
Nico Polychronidis during qualifying at the Olympic Games (July 1, 2012 - JANUARY 19, 2013) has played 26 games for the Continental Cup, obtaining three placings in the points (21 th - 24 th - 30 th place). His results are easily verifiable through the website of the FIS by clicking on these words. Therefore boasts 18 points of Continental Cup for the QAL.
'' AS POSSIBLE? Now. If Polychronidis has 18 points in Coc QAL, Dellasega 3, and Zmoray 2. How is it possible that the greek behind both the Slovak and Italian'' s?
THE FOURTH COUNTS OF LESS twenty-ninth? These three reference points now add the Canadian Dusty Korek, which results in the Continental Cup can be found by clicking on these words. You do not need to go too far back in time, let us focus only on the'' final result. The Canadian was fourth in the last race of the'' Continental Cup held in Sapporo, getting 50 points in one fell swoop.
This is sufficient for the expoit be widely front Polychronidis, Zmoray and Dellasega. Yet according to the FIS is the first Canadian behind the greek, Slovak and Italian'' s put together that do not reach half of the points marked by the American!
'' WHAT HAPPENED? Clearly, the FIS must have made a mistake in inserting'' the results of some Continental Cup race in assigning certain athletes (in this case Dellasega Diego and Zmoray) points never actually obtained that are completely distorting the QAL.
THE CONSEGUENZEQuesta is the proper list of repechage, complete with exact steps:
Basically the qualification to the Olympic Games is being humiliated by a real episode of amateurism and carelessness.
Canada, Romania, Estonia'' s serious risk of being defrauded of places for the 2014 Sochi earned on the field for the benefit of other nations that they would rather not right such as Italy, Kazakhstan and Slovakia.
