Unnecessarily reckless event like ski cross causes serious falls/injuries. Nobody saw that one coming.

 

 

Oh well, at least it's a million times better to watch than all those "we don't care if we win, it's only about fun and having your jeans down on your knees"-kind of events decided by judges points like halfpipe, slopestyle, big air and whatever more they'll think of

so 5th place for our hockey team. pitty to be so close of the semifinals, but well not the first and surely not the last taime we lost to CZE in the play-off decisive match...so 5th is still very good to see that also some amateurs players which play hockey just as hobby after school are very well skilled and able to represent proudly the country. Good job guys

These days went by so quickly...

 

Team Brazil is about to check out of the Athletes' Village in a few minutes and then headed to Almaty airport to go back to Germany (and then Austria). I'm happy to know though that a certain Brazilian cross-country skier/biathlete has had an amazing time at the Universiade. Waking up way too early in the mornings to watch the competitions and following her adventures there has been wonderful

Don't forget the cliche attitude: "I don't care if I have broken ribs, I'm gonna tough it out".
