Cross-Country Skiing 2021 - 2022 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

Whole lot of things to mention from the past few days of races in São Carlos, with all kinds of stuff going on in the fight for the Chilean men's ticket for the Olympics (not sure if the DNF's and DNS's have something to do with it, but even without that it's being very close left and right), among other things.

 

Bruna might have set a big step towards getting one of the two Brazilian women's tickets with this absolutely fantastic bit of qualifying yesterday. For some perspective: on the slow rollerskis they were using and the wet (!) road, anything in the low four minutes would have been very good. Her time would have been 8th out of 17 in the men's qualifying, she was faster (!) than 2018 Olympian Victor Santos - who is barely even one of the top-5 Brazilians anymore nowadays, but still!

 

Plus today there was this result in the 5k freestyle, where Ceci Dominguez's result might have helped her to the Argentinian women's Olympic ticket by literally no more than half a second or so. As in, half a second more behind Bruna (winner) than she was now and she would have been the second Argentinian in the FIS points list, which is presumably the main criterium for Argentina in terms of choosing their Olympian.

 

No confirmations or anything yet, but all of these tickets are very hard-fought and the fights are far from over (although possibly the Argentinian one might be, considering they're highly unlikely to improve their points on snow)!

Very nice, 8-minute report/interview with and about our very own Totallympian on a big Brazilian channel :cheer:

It is in Portuguese, of course. Still, it also shows some things for which one doesn't really need the language skills. And if she makes it to the Olympics, together with Karen Chanloung of Thailand she'll probably be one of only two female cross-country skiers who prepared for the season exclusively on rollerskis, bikes and other non-snow things :p (since the athletes from Chile and Argentina have snow available during their winter)

Women's race also had three not following the marked course. Makes you wonder whether the course was actually marked well.

I'll gladly welcome them with a nice cup of hot chocolate, nothing to hide here since it's paracetamol only for basically everything :d

    • It’s honestly baffling how bad she was in 2018. Just absolutely lost her head. Real shame too because she is so gifted. I do hope Li Jianrou sends her a Christmas card every year tho, she was absolutely gifted a gold medal by Christie in 2014.
    • Oh I’m not done yet, unfortunately. From the names that could be back but are still injured   Courtney Hoffos Mikael Kingsbury (should be back before the Olympics) Connor Howe (he returned, but nowhere close to his best so his injury is still giving him issues) Connor Bedard Meryeta O’Dine Megan Oldham
