I think maybe her 23th in the World Cup last season isn't the most "real" result. I mean, not showing all that she can, because maybe she already wasn't fully motivated anymore to give 100% in every training..

Holy shiii! 

 

Artem Tyshchenko (World Cup/IBU) & Snezhana Tiseyeva (IBU) got in a car accident.

Artem got a concussion. Snezhana has multiply head injuries & burns on her face

Their car was completely destroyed by fire.

 

 

ps. "The (national) federation controls the situation & will cover all expenses".

Pidhrushna is in the hospital helping our guys.

She said they were riding a lonely road at 3AM. Both lost consciousness & would have burnt there alive.

It's a miracle that 3 men on another car appeared in the same place & time.

 

Snizhana is awake, they're doing the 4th surgery/skin transplantation.

And in the margins of the biathlon news: next Saturday we'll see the first ever serious straight-up fight between Bruna Moura and Jaqueline Mourão, the new generation against the old

 

They'll both be present in the physical tests of the Brazilian federation. It's not entirely true that Bruna hadn't fought against Mourão yet, but that was back when she had barely started rollerskiing, so this will be the first time now that she's a "serious athlete". Mourão may be getting older, she had a great season (arguably one of her best, albeit solely in XC), so it'll be very interesting how this fight turns out.

 

It will be a specific uphill rollerskiing test by the way, they always do this test in the exact same place (I forgot the name, but it's the highest 'mountain' in São Paulo). So far it's looking good, because only yesterday I received a "Wow, I'm feeling better than ever!" message
