I know Brazil doesn’t have any medal worthy winter sport athletes but really? Personally I would rather not have neutralized athletes representing my country, but maybe that’s just me haha.

I guess the sudden marketing opportunity did change that I just mostly really, really hope this isn't going to make the Brazilian snow sports federation take away even more of their money (which is quite a lot) from other sports so they can spend every cent on Braathen...personally I find this really cool news, but I do also fear the effect it will have on the other sports, specifically cross-country skiing of course.
