Did you get along with Bruna’s family @heywoodu? I remember you were nervous about that before your trip.

I was? Not much more than anyone else before meeting their girlfriend's/boyfriend's family I think :p But yes, we got along excellent, so I'm very happy with that :d

We were worried about the language barrier with them I think.

That was not as much of a worry for me anymore. I mean, I can understand half of what they say when they speak a bit slowly, I can answer a few basic things (although my biggest problem is being too shy to actually do so :p) and in case nothing worked, someone was there who speaks both English and Portuguese.

She's already learning and doing pretty well, next time she's here she'll have to give more Dutch a try instead of English as usual :p

No, damn it! Açaí with some brigadeiros, m&m's and chocolate sauce, oh my, what a treat. Also no pão de queijo or esfiha anymore :( On the upside, no 'dry' rice with brown beans anymore. Not saying that's bad, but I grew a little tired of it at some point :p I like my rice with a bit more sauce :d 

 

fat big hero 6 GIF @heywoodu right now :lol:

 

But, I can understand you. I can't eat rice and beans everyday. For example, I only eat rice and black beans, because I don't like too much the other kind of beans.:lol:

The black beans are a lot better! They're really unusual for me but I like them much more. Rice, black beans (even better if there's some meat in there) and some farinha sprinkled over it, let's go.

I would check this morning, since I usually check my weight in the morning. The morning I left for Brazil it was 87.something, now it was...

 

Spoiler

88.8kg :d That's like 5kg less than I expected :lol:

    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
