That is me indeed, like I said, it's mostly to show some things to a few specific people (and so this Brazilian biathlete (:spank:) could place some videos I recorded of her competitions on Facebook :p 

 

 

I found it when looking for Universiade replays (that never exist) I think, good work though :thumbup:

Well I never been in Venezuela, but I have heard some rumours that it is not going too well. When I went to the supermarket today to buy sugar and flour for my cupcakes, the price was the same as last week. But what do I know? I'm just a student who wants to start a cupcake-cafe apparently :p

I managed to watch for one minute until it turned into some angry lady using the misery of a country full of people to go on a 'Democrats suck' spree :p

Weirdly enough, according to Heritage, an American conservative public policy think tank, Denmark is a more economic free (capitalistic) country than USA. Denmark is 12 and USA is 18 :p  For your information, Venezuela is number 179 out of 180. At least they are higher than North Korea :p

Surprisingly few cupcake cafes here in Aarhus considering the facts from her. But what do I know, I've actually finished studying and actually try finding a job :p

But as if the report wasn't enough. The comments are even better. Apparently we are selected by the Danish Government to spread propaganda. Considering that I'm not pleased by the current government, they've done a pretty bad job ;)

 

The positive thing is that it has gotten a friend of mine (the leader of the Danish Conservative Youth Party) quoted by Huffington Post. That's pretty extraordinary :p

There is something rotten in Denmark..... I'm sure she wasn't referring to @Agger  :d

 

But what a load of old bullcrap. She is doing a good job at convincing us which is the rotten society.... and it's not Denmark. Try looking closer to home Fox News :d.

    • Meanwhile, a bit of a request for help: I have been trying, but if anyone can find the qualification rules for the world championships in Trondheim, specifically the requirements to be allowed to start in all races, that'd be great, I can't find it anywhere yet..   Edit: of course I found it right after asking for help     Only remaining question is: does 'current' mean what at that moment is the current list (the 6th FIS points list) or the one that is used for the eligibility for the WSC 2025 as listed on the 'Dates of the lists' document (5th FIS points list)?    
    • Happy New Year to you as well!   So, we got back from Oberwiesenthal Sunday night, after an adventurous drive in the snow and a long road back home. It went well there: the classic sprint on Saturday resulted in 314 points, which improved her own position towards the team sprint in the world championships (being in the team sprint is potentially very important towards the Olympics). She beat her main rival by a whopping 11 seconds, so that was awesome.   20k mass start classic on Sunday wasn't that good: in the first of six laps, some athletes around her fell, one of them hit her left foot (the one that got injured in the accident 3 years ago) and that resulted in quite some pain. I was waiting with my drinks in the coaching area, but after the field passed there in lap two, she didn't appear, so I knew something was up. Walked back and saw her walking towards me, then she explained what had happened. The pain after being hit in the foot was too much to keep going for 16km, especially in a race that wouldn't count for the Olympic ranking anyway and was only meant for 'racing rhythm', continueing could do more damage than good.   That's a shame, but no problem, the sprint went well and that was WAY more important. Also: the day before the race we went to the Polish wax cabin to ask for help, because she does always need someone to wax her skis and 'Team' Brazil isn't really an option. The Polish very gladly helped (and were paid with a nice 12-pack of beer we brought for that occassion) and the skis were really good, so that was fantastic. Even better: after the mass start, and explaining why being hit in the foot was such a problem and so on, the wax guy - without us even asking - offered to also help at the world championships, and invited her for a training camp with the team in the summer     December had gone very well as well, right now (with still this entire season and half of next season to go) she is leading the Brazilian Olympic ranking by a nice margin. Of course many races to come for everyone, but so far, so good!   Next option is 17-19 January, FESA Cup in Falcade. Financially it's a bit tough, since that is yet another 2300km with the rental car (with which we already did 1600 now, and we only have 2000 on the contract, so every km outside of it costs 20 cents), plus another accomodation needed. We're looking into the options, because Falcade has a classic sprint AND a 10k freestyle, which is the absolute perfect combination considering those are the things that count for the Olympic ranking. We're trying to scrape enough together, so...we'll keep you updated
