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 13,560 Posted December 14, 2016 #493 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Biathlon Brazil fanclub update: tomorrow we have the Junior Cup sprints in Hochfilzen, the venue of the (senior) World Championships. This time it's followed by a pursuit, and the interesting but slightly bad news is that the start lists are huge! 116 guys is not so special at this level, but 108 girls is more than I've seen at IBU Cups..Gabi will have to keep 48 girls behind her to qualify for the pursuit! I have identified 24 athletes who, in my opinion, Gabi should 'easily' be able to keep behind her in terms of skiing speed, so now it's a matter of hoping she has a good day on the tracks and a better time on the range and who knows what's possible ahjfcshfghb 1 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!

I agree if she shoots clear she could make the pursuit. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree if she shoots clear she could make the pursuit. In case you're interested in some help following the slower athletes, my little noted start list for tomorrow At first I used "x" to mark the slower athletes, but then I thought "hey this athlete is not just slower, she's REALLY slower" so I used xx, and the same process happened again resulting in xxx for the athletes who were several minutes behind Gabi (in skiing time) last weekend Sadly it's horizontal so you'll have to break your neck to see it, but hey, it's all part of being a Biathlon Brazil Fanclub member (it's hard to guess where Greenland's girls would be in terms of speed, but they might be able to fight against the two Serbians and the Moldovans) Spoiler ahjfcshfghb 1 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!

I will be watching. By the way it looks like there might be a relay of Serbian women...Godspeed Though Maja Drndic has had some decent results and is improving quite a bit since last year.

Yes I was very surprised by Drndic' results, she was actually way in the top half in terms of skiing speed! I remember seeing results of relays in the Europa Cup (what is now the IBU Cup) like 10 years ago, where there were mixed teams...mixed in terms of nations, so also smaller nations had athletes in relays. I wonder if that's possible here for Gabi, to compete with for example two Bosnians (or Greenlanders, imagine that ).

Although let's hope the Bosnians race, too, it would be somewhat of a battle with Serbia... About Greenland one of their athletes is Uiloq Slettemark's 15 year old daughter who competed at the Arctic Winter Games apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't find her in any IBU results, FIS results or the Youth Olympics, forgot to check the Arctic Winter Games...some convincing results for her in the three junior races It all says sprint, but it's actually (in order) Individual, Sprint, Mass Start 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!

Keeping in mind of course this is the AWG. But she obviously has SOME class. I wonder how well she shoots. She did an interview where she was proud that she shot a reindeer and both shooting a reindeer and a biathlon target successfully have the same good feeling http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2016/03/12/469983624/at-arctic-winter-games-biathlons-stick-pulls-and-sledge-jumps And it seems the other athlete competed last year twice and both times finished dead last, though she was like 16 at the time.
