The following is about the qualification rules and the quota allocation for the alpine skiing events at the 2018 Winter Olympics. [1]
A maximum of 320 athletes are allowed to compete at the Olympic Games. A maximum of 22 athletes per nation will be allowed to compete with a maximum of 14 males or 14 females from a nation being permitted. Each nation may also enter a maximum of one team in the team event.
The A standard entails a competitor to be ranked within the top 500 in any event on the FIS Points list which will be made public after qualification ends on January 21, 2018. The qualification period began on July 1, 2017.
National Olympic committees (NOC) without athletes meeting the A standard can enter one competitor of each sex (known as the basic quota) in only the slalom and/or giant slalom events. These athletes must have only a maximum of 140 FIS points on the FIS Points list on 21 January 2018.
The Points List is calculated by taking the average of five event results for technical events (giant slalom and slalom) and three events for speed events (downhill, super G, and super combined).
The Olympic Points List (A Standard) | Downhill | Super G | Super Combined | Slalom | Giant Slalom |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ranked <=500 in DH | <80 points | <80 points | <80 points | 140 points | 140 points |
Ranked <=500 in SG | <80 points | 140 points | 140 points | ||
Ranked <=500 in SC | <80 points | 140 points | 140 points | ||
Ranked <=500 in GS, SL | 140 points | 140 points | |||
B Standard | 140 points | 140 points |
Every NOC will be assigned one male and one female quota spot meeting the B standard.
The host nation (South Korea) is awarded an additional quota per gender, granted all athletes meet the standard above.
Every NOC with at least one male and/or female in the top 30 of any event will be allocated one additional male and/or female quota in addition to the basic quota. If an athlete is ranked in the top 30 in more than one event a second additional quota for that sex will be given or if two different athletes are in the top 30.
The remaining quotas will be assigned using the Olympic Quota allocation list on 22 January 2018. The spots will be assigned until a maximum of 320 quotas are reached including the above. When a nation reaches its maximum, remaining athletes from that country will be skipped over. The list is a table of athletes in the top 500 in their two best events (including both male and female athletes). These additional quotas can be used to enter either male or female.
An athlete can be counted only once for the above criteria. For example, if a country has only one athlete meeting all three criteria then only one quota will be given (not 3).
The top 16 nations in the overall FIS World Cup Nations standings as of 22 January 2018 will ber permitted to enter a team of two male and two female athletes in the mixed team event. If South Korea is not among the top 16, then the top 15 along with South Korea will qualify. In the event one of these nations have only 3 quota spots earned above then they will be awarded a fourth quota to allow them to participate in the team event. It is unknown if these quotas are in addition to the 320 above.
The following is the quota allocation as of 28 January 2018. [4]
