When they got a bronze in women's curling a few years back that was their first winter MEDAL ever! Very odd for a country which has plenty winter.

Sindo 1,227 Posted January 22 #524 Share Posted January 22 @Olympian1010 Do you have a list of the youngest athletes at the Games? I think the youngest is a snowboarder from New Zealand? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I generally watch every single World Cup event (plus European, Four Continents and world championships), and there's indeed often quite a bit of pushing, but usually this much definitely gets punished. She really got away very well 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!

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted January 22 #528 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Fun fact about Koo (as far as I know, a Korean name): this sounds just like a very common swearword in Portuguese, and there's NO WAY any Portuguese speaker can say Lucas Koo's last name out loud and not immediately blush or laugh out loud. No way. Edited January 22 by thiago_simoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
