Bruna 285.80

Duda 288.05

Mika 290.48

 

In other words, instead of trying to control the damage, she managed to actually gain a couple of points :hyper:  Which brings the total points in the ranking at the moment to the following, with everyone now being 100% certain of having 6 valid races.

With Nove Mesto, Sjenica and Ravna Gora to go (depending on whether or not things are cancelled) in January. A few main points in this list:

 

- Jaque will stay ahead of everyone, we can take that as a certainty

- Mika has a bit of room to improve in the classic races and some room in the sprint races, depending on the points and such in January

- Duda has a bit of room to improve in the classic races and two good chances to improve in the sprints

- Bruna needs only one of the three classic races to be decent in order to drop 300-350 points in one go, and has decent room to improve in the sprints

 

So far, so good.

Ravna Gora? Interesting. Maybe I should attend since it is only about 40 min drive from my place. :p

Does Ravna Gora means Flat hill ? I am assuming from similar-sounding words in Slovak languages. Rovná is flat/straight and Hora is Hill :d

I have no doubt that would be SUCH a huge morale boost, and it is also going to be the absolutely last and deciding event for the Brazilian selection, so there is serious stuff at stake! :d

Apparently Nove Mesto is cancelled. The coach has doubts about Serbia and Croatia "because snow can disappear quickly there", but it's nearly a month to go, so...bit too early to draw conclusions on that :lol: 

 

Anyway, if there are no more races for them, the tickets - according to Brazilian federation's own rules - are for Jaque and Bruna :d

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
