The following is about the qualification rules and the quota allocation for the cross-country skiing at the 2014 Winter Olympics. [1]
A total of 310 athletes are allowed to compete at the Games. A maximum of 20 athletes per nation will be allowed to compete with a maximum of 12 males or 12 females from a nation being permitted.
An athlete with a maximum of 100 FIS distance points will be allowed to compete in both or one of the event (sprint/distance). An athlete with a maximum 120 FIS sprint points will be allowed to compete in the sprint event and 10 km for women or 15 km for men provided their distance points does not exceed 300 FIS points.
NOC's who do not have any athlete meeting the A standard can enter one competitor of each sex (known as the basic quota) in the sprint event or 10 km classical event for women/15 km classical event for men. They must have a maximum of 300 FIS distance points at the end of qualifying on January 20, 2014. The qualification period begins in July 2012.
Every NOC will be assigned one male and one female quota spot meeting the B standard.
Every NOC with at least one male and/or female in the top 300 of any event will be allocated one additional male and/or female quota in addition to the basic quota.
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 top 500 and 100 quota. If an NOC has two or more fitting this criterion it will be given an additional quota.
The remaining quotas will be assigned using the Olympic Quota allocation list on January 20, 2014. The spots will be assigned until a maximum of 310 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 both events (distance and sprint).
An athlete can be counted only once for the above three criteria. For example, if a country has only one athlete meeting all three criteria then only one quota will be given (not 3).
This is the Olympic allocation quota. [2]
