Conflicting sources

edit

The IBSF media guide from Igls gives her height and weight as 172 cm and 70 kg, but the IBSF athlete profile says 170 cm and 68 kg. 121a0012 (talk) 03:51, 3 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Olympic qualification

edit

Martin Haven definitely talked on the broadcast from Altenberg about how both Dutch women were in danger of not meeting the Dutch qualification standards despite being in position to earn two quota spots for Pyeongchang. With her seventh-place finish at Altenberg, Bos met the standard (Martin said it was two finishes in eighth or higher position) but Le Conte hasn't fared that well this year. The challenge is that the only English-language source I know of is the IBSF TV commentary, and that's not really usable for our purposes. There's a Dutch-language press release that I cited in Bos's article, but it doesn't say a word about Le Conte, or even mention that the NOC refused the second quota. It would be great if someone who has more source knowledge could find something in the English-language print media about this. 121a0012 (talk) 05:19, 19 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
