heywoodu 11,877 Posted July 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Quite interesting developments in the world of Brazilian cross-country skiing, mostly the women. The second stage of the Brazilian rollerski circuit is being held these days in São Carlos, results can be found here: https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/event-details.html?event_id=42839&cal_suchsector=CC Mostly look at the women's results and specifically those of Taynara da Silva and Amanda Lima, both only 16 years of age and having maybe a little over a year of rollerski training. Last year in a 7.5km classic race they lost 17 and 25 minutes on Bruna, Friday in a 5km classic race they both lost less than 4 minutes (and I can guarantee Bruna was definitely not holding back). Also in the freestyle sprint they've gotten a lot closer and besides them, there are also some U19 races with several other girls from 2002-2004 (and even one from 2007!). A bit over a year ago Bruna and Gabi were the only Brazilian female athletes born after 1990, now suddenly there's a whole new generation of teenage girls getting started in the sport and that is just really, really good to see 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!

heywoodu 11,877 Posted July 29, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2018 In case anyone is interested, the Brazilian federation probably will have a live stream of today's competition again (like yesterday) If so, it should be on their Facebook page.

heywoodu 11,877 Posted August 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Terribly sad photo from Norway.
