heywoodu 13,557 Posted November 29, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I'd like a bucket of whatever the Italians put under their skis please 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!

phelps 6,862 Posted November 29, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I hope they've only put something special under their skis and not through their veins... by the way, really unexpected result by Lucia and Greta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,557 Posted November 29, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Apparently half the women's Russian team (apart from Nepryaeva basically) is pregnant....on advice of their coach (as in, "if you want that and you want to go to the Olympics, better try it now than closer to the Olympics") I hope that really is the reason, and not some sort of 'pressured' thing because some mad scientist found out pregnancy hormones make you stronger or something (which I've read something about long ago but can't find).

phelps 6,862 Posted November 29, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) by the way, this is mostly for the Italian users (or, at least, those who can easily understand Italian and some slang of our language)... dedicated to Scardoni, Laurent, Pellegrino and their poor/disappointing (especially after the qualification stage) quarterfinals' performance...

Plus planning something like that is just pretty normal in their situation. I mean, yeah, Beijing 2022 is going to get a lot harder if they'd get pregnant a year later and if they wait until after the Olympics, they might feel like they want it faster. Of course it's no coincidence so many female athletes get pregnant in the 1-2 years after the Olympics 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!

On the bright side: that makes it even more clear it was their wax that was great in the morning, not their veins AlFHg 1 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!
