Watching this afternoon's inline skating...I am in love with this venue I think, it looks drop dead gorgeous right by the sea :wub:


Buenos Aires is probably the best South American city I've visited. I was told to be careful because the city could be dangerous, but it was safe and relaxing all the way.

Then I took a ferry ride to Uruguay so I could take my plane back to Brazil, and when I got to Montevideo, the taxi driver left me at the airport and then stole all my luggage. :facepalm:

I would say Brasilia is the best South American city I've visited. It helps that it's also the only one (unless you count Recanto das Emas and Taguatinga as separate cities, but even if you do Brasilia stays on top compared to especially the first :p). Next year São Carlos and/or Caraguatatuba are probably added to the list, so let's see :p

Great city with great people. Just take care with the taxi drivers.

I'm amazed at how well you can spell Caraguatatuba and Taguatinga.

:d 

 

I've also got Jacupiranga firmly stuck in my head even though I haven't typed that until now for 4 years or something (which is when the girl who lived there and I was in contact with disappeared from internet). Actually it's all thanks to girls, my ex spent half her life in Taguatinga and so I spent most of my month in Brazil there, whereas my current (and definitely last :cool::wub:) girlfriend lives in Caraguatatuba....so you've kinda got no choice to learn those names :lol:

    • Noel- 1st place today after 1 run, Amiez- 3rd place... Vinatzer is a talent similar to Noel, so I ask where are his results, where are the other skiers in the lead of classification? Did they really think they would ride on one Gross and Razzoli until 2026?
    • The problem of the Italian federation is that her system doesn`t work and we can`t afford to lose talents like Colturi. Our slalom does not exist, whether among women or men. We are currently at a level under that Croatia in women and Bulgaria in the men's category. There is no progress, in fact there is regression, because while Vinatzer often didn`t finish runs a few years ago, when he did finish he was able to be in the top. Now he either doesn`t finish or is around 20th place, like now. In the women's category the peak of our abilities is Peterlini, who regularly placed around 20th place in the World Cup... If we can`t afford to invest more than Albania and that with the Winter Olympics in a year at, then I think we can really dissolve our ski sector and focus on something else... If the federation is satisfied with such low levels, let them continue   Btw. maybe it's better investing in private teams like Colturi, if it works? I'd like have 1-2 Colturi in private teams, who will stand on the podiums of the World Cup, than a national team consisting of 5-6 average skiers, who can take 20th place at most, if they finish the race at all...

    • @Antooo any chance that you will be able to prepare 2026 olympics schedule in Excel/PDF file like you did for 2024??? It should be easier now, much less events to do. And no hurry at all, we have 15 months to go...

    • IMO the Italian federation was right in not giving to that financial and political blackmail - had they accepted it, plenty of more established athletes in snow sports could have asked for more under the threat of changing nationality. It's not like they had a sports almanac from the future saying that that 15yo girl would have won 5 olympic gold medals and 5 overall world cups.
    • Allez  He tried to pull this one lots of time and finally managed to go all the way.
    • Nonsense. Chamizo moved to Italy, married an Italian, he's still here after many years and was essentially banned from competing for Cuba. Colturi's tie to Albania is that the Albanian federation had invested a ton of money in her mother's business (élite and very costly academy for young skiers), and then gave her a role, and probably another big salary, as a director in exchange for the pomise of their first winter Olympic medal. A better comparison is to that archer who competed for Ivory Coast because her father had a big clothing business in the country.
