nice one, curious though how does one qualify for the olympics? is it by FIS points or selection by your country or......

Both, I think. You need to be selected by a national committee recognised by FIS, and achieve the required level of FIS points. I think it's 140 FIS points, which I believe is reasonably close to a Eurotest pass.

rob@rar, looks like he got some crazily low FIS points compared with his other results in a race in Iran. The other competitors in that race also got much lower points than their norm apart from the two Europa/WC guys who came first and second.
Good luck to him though, he's worked very hard to get there.
