Update:

 

:BRA Brazil have qualified in Men's Nordic Skiing in the final race of Stage 2 of the Nordic Skiing World Cup in Ukraine :clap:

 

Thomaz Moraes right? I remember seeing his results and he is so young...if he keeps improving, he could be a very serious threat for some top contenders in 2022 :hyper:

Brazil have 2 athletes with the entry standard, but sadly neither were quite good enough to secure a second quota. Technically it is up to the Brazilian federation to pick between Thomaz Moraes or Fernando Rocha, the age difference though is significant Moraes born 2001 or Rocha born 1978, so I would pick Moraes but the workings of internal selections can be complex to say the least. I would expect they might apply for a bipartite invitation for a second quota as there are lots of unused female quota that need allocating.

 

On 2022, he is young and if he keeps improving he could be up there, but most of the sitting field is pretty young, the Ukrainians are only in there 20s and there is a promising Japanese guy who was born in 2000. Plus, I am certain that China will throw lots of resources at Para Nordic Skiing, they send lots of athletes to competitions and I imagine they will be a force to be reckoned with on home snow! But there is definitely potential!

    • I love it, this Torino intro was my introduction to Olympics, first one which I did watch and remember things, then I do fall in love in sport, at first especially in biathlon....
    • Well, I suppose now is as good a time as any for a grand reveal. I’ll be covering Milano Cortina 2026 in-person as a freelancer for Olympics.com.    I just wanted to pop by and say that everyone’s support throughout the years has been really appreciated. The connections and opportunities I’ve gained as part of this community played a big role in my career trajectory.   I probably won’t be that active for a while, but I hope you all have a wonderful Olympic Games. 
    • It's pretty nice, something I'll have to get used to as time goes by, just like with the last one. Hopefully we'll get to hear the full theme pretty soon.
