hoversaBR 281 Posted November 2, 2018 #2061 Share Posted November 2, 2018 20 horas atrás, heywoodu disse: Bolsonaro isn't even sworn in yet and already Brazilian sports federations are preparing for the worst, because funding is most likely going to be cut very short from next year on For example no special bonuses anymore for winning South American championships and stuff like that. Besides the proposal to extinguish the Ministry of Sport (the sport would be under the Ministry of Education and Culture). That is, sports will be totally in the background. The worst thing is that there are athletes who agree with this and try to justify, as is the case with Wallace, volleyball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like next year there will be downgrade or even cancellation of badminton tournanents in Brazil.. Fortunately their best talent is training in France.
