:ITA Falcade FESA Cup is ON :d 

 

Just need to make sure the federation registers her in time. They're trying, but they sent it to the wrong email address, even though the correct one is very clearly listed in the easy to find invitation...oh well, I guess it'll work out :p 

 

Bruna will by then be basically the only athlete from a small nation who has competed in every single FESA Cup race this season so far, that's quite nice. It'll end there though, since the 5th and 6th stages (Planica and Premanon in March) seem quite useless for the Olympic points, and not really worth the investment.

I've been to Falcade a few times for alpine skiing: I think you go down from Passo San Pellegrino but maybe I'm mistaken, because it was quite a while ago.

Btw., do you have any Brazilian ancestry? Where does your fascination with that country come from?

My first girlfriend was Brazilian, and I already had an interest in winter sports...then I kind of started paying attention to Brazilian winter athletes and long story short, a few years after the relationship ended I started dating a Brazilian winter athlete and here we are, more than 7 years later, living in our home and figuring everything out towards the Olympics :p

Damn, would you believe there was actually a livestream on YT of all these races?  OK, coverage is pretty primitive with a limited number of fixed cameras, no drones etc, but it is there!

I know, the speaker mentioned it :d 

 

In the women's mass start you see Bruna in the pack, but at the end of lap 1 you sadly see her pull up and stop the race because of the foot thing.

If following the Brazilian federation's published criteria and the way the rankings are made, Jaqueline Mourão and Bruna should be the ones competing in the team sprint at the world championships in Trondheim. Eduarda Ribera ended up in 3rd (criteria are clear: top-2 does the team sprint), and would likely have been 2nd if she had 'simply' done a somewhat decent race last Saturday, the last opportunity before the rankings closed, but somehow they didn't send her there*.

Anyway, whichever way of counting penalties you take, Bruna ended up 1st in the ranking, so she should definitely be in for the Trondheim team sprint (which, in turn, is important towards the Olympics). Now it's a matter of waiting for the federation to actually publish the ranking, their 'rankings' page has been under construction since they moved to a new website, like 2 years ago.
