heywoodu 13,540 Posted May 8, 2020 #3 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Damn, barely 18 years old I wonder where this somewhat vague website found that info they wrote (why?) about those letters, it's not mentioned in Austrian media unless I'm missing something..that site they mention doesn't say it (or not anymore?). 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!

Ski-nordique mentioned the same thing I see (although it could be based on that article), at least that's a well-known site generally. And yeah, I totally agree with you. If those 'details' are true, especially 'because of pressure from the Austrian federation', said federation needs to take a very, very hard look at themselves.. I'm seeing the very unhealthy amount of pressure a federation can put on athletes quite often, wouldn't be surprised if that was too much for someone who was just a teenager 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!

heywoodu 13,540 Posted November 22, 2020 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Jeez, Otepää isn't having a happy time are they? I feel like this is the umpteenth event there that had to be cancelled due to external factors in the past two years or so 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!

It seems to me, that ever since i'm following winter sports, Otepää is the place that never goes as planned. Every summer/fall when i see the new calendars and find Otepää on there i go "Well that is not going to happen and it's a free weekend". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
