I had totally missed this by the way, it's from 20 January already, another bit about Bruna  

https://almaty2017.com/media/blogs/2017/01/30/brazilskaya-sportsmenka-bruna-moura/

 

Guess who suggested telling about wanting to visit Medeo's legendary speed skating rink 

 

And she is mentioned in this local bit about the 5k classic....

"Brazilian Bruna Moura so hard to start the race, which is one of the lifts lost her balance and fell.  "

 

Not entirely true, she didn't fall

" she wants to attend other competitions, experience the Olympic atmosphere and visit the sports facilities around Almaty "

 

How does one experience the Olympic atmosphere at the Universiade?

How does one experience the Olympic atmosphere at the Universiade?

 

"I hope to visit some other competitions and take in the 'Olympic' atmosphere in and around the Athlete's Village and the sports venues."

 

Those are the exact words I wrote, take note at the 'Olympic' instead of only Olympic, they didn't see this nuance

Snow at the track in Medeo again, these images are so beautiful 

 

They remind me of the 2005 single distance world champs in Inzell (which nowadays is very, very sadly an indoor track) when some unknown Norwegians took medals including gold and our Barbara de Loor suddenly won a world title

15:27,01 in race 1 of the 10k, it would have been a world record in 1968

This is all just fantastic, rider sliding through the snow like he's an alpine skier, track workers on the ice during the races to take some snow away....I feel like I'm watching pictures of the times before the first Winter Olympics

This 10k today must be one of the best speed skating races I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot ) in terms of beauty and old-school and everything, I'm in love with this race

You can luckily enjoy it for few more hours.

Isn't it unfair for the latter athletes when the snow piles on the ice?
