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).

For those interested, Bruna (Moura, the number one Brazilian biathlete at the moment) will have a live interview on SporTV tomorrow at/around 12.30 Brasilia time :)

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.

    • I think the Dutch men (especially in long distances) are simply not good enough. We've been leaders in long distances for decades, but we've always had great talents like De Jong, Romme, Bergsma, Kramer, and Roest. They're not around right now, so we're focusing more on short distances, but there's a certain Stolz who reigns supreme.   What I've noticed is that many newcomers (Jilek, Lubineaud etc) originally come from inline skating. The Netherlands should look into that too. We also need to be open to new training methods, like those of the Swede Nils Svensson, who won two gold medals in Beijing with a unique training regime.   Good luck with Ghiotto, I will definitely cheer for him: such a friendly person and a beautiful skater. He really deserves a gold medal.

    • If that draw seemed a surprise for us, what should we say about their last 2 matches, wins against City and Atletico Ok, with City is somehow understandable due tu low temperatures in Norway, but last night they won in Madrid against Atletico...unbelivable

    • The all Dutch men seemed out of form in Inzell. Could this mean some intense strength training during this period? Overall, I think that, the progress in the men's long-distance events has been incredible since last year and I have the impression that both Ghiotto and the Netherlands team haven't caught on to some new equipment updates? The times achieved this season by: Eitrem, Jilek, Lubinaud, Semyrunyyi and Davson are incredible in terms of time progress year by year. But considering the financial potential of the Netherlands, I'm surprised they could have to by left behind technologically? Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me in Italy's case, as we don't even have a single indoor track to test our technological innovations – the one in Milan is currently inaccessible even to the hosts. Of course, if Italy were a normal country, who supported their own athletes, the track in Milan should have been available only for the Italian team for many months ago, where would be testing various innovations there, but unfortunately that is not the case, because we live where we live
    • Stolz recently lost twice to Zurek in the 500 meters, so I don't know if he'll even be a favorite there. He will have certain favourite in the 1000 and 1500 meters. Mass starts are a lottery and in the team race, putting him in would be a significant risk, because the team USA is incredibly well-coordinated without him and has been undefeated for 2 years. It's not certain that even someone very strong like him won't disrupt this lineup. Maybe, they only put him in the quarterfinals and give him the gold medal for only that race? In any case, for me he can realistically count on 2-3 gold medals individually + a question mark regarding the team race. Overall, I think he should focus on 500-1000-1500, instead of dreaming of 5 gold medals. And if he will win those 3 gold medals, he can then, with a clear head, attempt the mass start at the last race of the Games.
