Never say never?? It would be pretty awesome if they did make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto 4,072 Posted December 12, 2016 #56 Share Posted December 12, 2016 had an athlete (the same male who competed in Sochi) meet the qualification standard in his first race back. So they are likely to qualify if he keeps up the pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
