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.

Yeah, that was bound to happen, given that Norwegian journalists had already been fishing for contacts within the Brazilian federation for at least a few days :d 

 

Interesting though, not that long ago the rule within the Brazilian snow sports federation was that people who had competed for another country already could absolutely under no circumstances compete for Brazil. I guess the sudden marketing opportunity did change that :d 

 

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.
