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.

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
