Dude's on fire, Michel Macedo has the 'Brazilian FIS points record' in 4 of the 5 alpine skiing disciplines now, this time breaking records from 2008 and 2006! :)

He seems to be the main contender for Brazil's Olympic ticket more and more, surpassing Guillerme Grahn thumbsup.gif

Nice. Winter sports athletes are virtually unknown here, unfortunately.

Yep, it's already a big deal when Globo or something pays some attention to them (like Bruna Moura and Victor Santos who had a live Skype interview with SporTV last winter from Austria). I guess nearly all attention in the coming months will be on Jaque Mourão once again (and hopefully on Isabel Clark as well).

Well, here we go, they made a short video about this week's competitions in São Carlos :d

So after 4 days Globo is finally starting their live coverage of the Games (they had to wait for the end of Carnaval). It's their biggest ever for a Winter Games. They will show about 4-5 hours everyday - from midnight through dawn :p Still good considering it's a open channel.

Interesting to see Mika Picin is doing the commentary (or co-commentary? or the role as expert?) for biathlon and XC on SporTV :d 

 

It might be a paid channel so you'd sort of expect it, but I still like seeing how much they are showing of the Winter Olympics....pretty much all (Korean) day and even with a studio (where there's talk about more sports than on Dutch TV), that's nice :)

They have been preparing in Livigno in Italy (where Brazil's cross-country/biathlon team has their base, except for Mourão who's not part of any team anyway), where it was a nice and chilly -25 degrees early this week :d With a wind chill of -35 degrees there in Livigno...Pyeongchang will feel like São Paulo after that.
