Bronze for Mourao. Satisfying ?

 

First medal ever in women's MTB for Brazil.

And you can bet your ass this is gonna be mentioned and/or referenced in every single social media post for the next few years as 'historic' and whatnot. Marketing galore.

 

Don't think so. She probably doesn't even know this

I was just asking our own Brazilian biathlon team wax serviceman if he´s personally satisfying with this result

Oh, yes. I am 100% sure she does. If I would get €0,05 for every time "only Brazilian ever in XX Olympics!" or "only Brazilian ever to compete in both Summer and Winter Olympics!" was mentioned in social media posts and articles, along with things like "best ever!!", I would have the money to host the Olympics in my backyard now.

In my opinion the Brazilian champion should have competed here, but I guess the national championships were too close to Lima 2019 (one or two weeks ago). And she is the national champion from last year (because someone else had to walk/run an entire lap due to a flat tyre, but if you even mention that in the Brazilian MTB community everyone tries to kill you because how dare you say she might not be the superduper best? Noticed that in the livestream chat this month  )
