So much looking forward to race!!!   And... It seems like finding someone to prepare my skis won't be a problem as this time FIS will provide a "neutral support" for small teams with special

damn, almost a :BRA double!

 

Definitely impressed with Stevenson Savart :HAI, hope he gets some support & sponsorship because he knows his stuff.

He already has quite some support if I'm not mistaken, a rather professional team he trains with back home in France :p (not sure if it's his team or he trains with the team, but I believe the Dutch commentator mentioned a fairly known French coach)

By the way, 212 FIS points for Bruna today. Not only did she qualify for the 10k (and now we're trying to see if she'll actually compete in it, her boss already said he'll help in paying for the longer stay), 212 is the best ever points result in a somewhat big international race for her :yikes:

 

She has dozens of South American races, both on snow and on rollerskis, with better points of course, but I'm not really counting those, and I'm not really counting the Balkan Cup races in Serbia of last winter neither, since the Balkan Cup is basically the points farming competition of the world :p 

 

So race one after nearly dying in a car crash, and it's arguably the best race of her career, wow.

 

Spoiler

This morning, when calling before the race, I literally said "it doesn't need to be your best race ever" :p

Bruna's inspiring story was presented as well through our national broadcaster, I just heard it on our special podcast, dedicated to this WCH.

 

Anyway, time to wish all athletes the best, 100 ladies and 139 men will take part in today's Sprint, which is a bit less than two years ago in Oberstdorf, but still quite nice participation.

By the way, not expecting too much from Bruna today (neither is she). It's classic style, which she's normally pretty good at, but in classic you do need to kick your foot against the snow fairly strong to get the best grip your skis can offer, but exactly that - pushing down hard with the feet - is still a significant problem with the foot that was partially crushed last year. We'll see what happens, but yesterday she kept 29 women behind her and if she can do something similar today that would already be amazing. I'm hoping for 20 women or so behind her, so top-80 or so today :) 

 

And even much more than in freestyle, the preparation of the skis is absolutely crucial, so hopefully they're done good, but that's out of her control of course.

I wonder if Swedish media posted something about it somewhere. I can't find it, but yesterday out of nowhere two unknown (to us) Swedish names donated something on her crowdfunding page, so I wonder where they heard about it :d

      no idea. I just repeated what I read  but I won't be surprised if they make a mistake like this. the officials here are usually terrible in reading the rules. if I remember correctly they sent an Ice hockey team to the Games back in 2017 but most of the players were ineligible to play per IIHF rules and they played some friendlies instead    btw there is a federation, but not an ISU member. Ice Skating (which has a very very limited activity here) was a part of Skating (roller sports) federation but now moved to Skiing federation which officially changed its name to Skiing and Winter Sports Federation.

      There is a saying to never trust a Russian in gymnastics. Well, ex-Russian turned Bulgarian Elvira Krasnobaeva is transferring now to Armenia.   The "official" reason is for personal, family matters, but in reality it's most likely because she wasn't selected for Paris, which angered her parents. Even though she is only 16, had her breakthrough just this year and started making mistakes, when they amped up the difficulty.   Our Federation's President Iliana Raeva said today, that she received calls also from France and Azerbaijan about Elvira's mother basically auctioning her. Raeva mentioned, that Krasnobaeva was going to be a vocal point in the next Olympic cycle, but now she can hit the road and missed her chance to ever compete for Bulgaria, even if she wanted to in the future.    We are also going to make a new Group from next season. After the disappointment in Paris, 4 out of the 5 girls announced their retirement.
