Cross-Country Skiing 2021 - 2022 Discussion Thread

[heywoodu 16,000]

Results are on the FIS website, with Duda getting 292 points (and so not improving her total result). That means, when taking the internal criteria into account (classic distance races, freestyle sprints, in selected countries and competitions, including Slavic Cup and Balkan Cup and such), this should be the final table:

 

 

Final standings:

1. Jaque 1201.02

2. Bruna 1504.71

3. Duda 1635.26

4. Mika 1709.23

 

The Brazilian NOC will make the official announcement tomorrow in a live event at 15:00 CET. So it has yet to be announced, but half of the Zweisimmen-Sparenmoos snow has been melted by Bruna's tears when she called me/us and I gave her the finish times

I am going to take the freedom to call this an epic result by young Argentinian Franco del Farra, wow.

Hey! Thanks for asking 😊 I am doing well, recovering a little day by day.

Arm, ribs, abdomen, shoulder and lungs still hurt but much less nowadays  (painkillers are making their miracle everyday)

My foot is the main thing for now, but the doctor said we will have to be patient with it, which means it will take time to recover. Not much about the broken bones, but the wounds (it still looks like a zombie foot 😬😅). But it will get better  I need to keep it high as much as possible during the day and do not put any pressure on it. So, wheelchair it recovers.

 

For sure, no trainings for me in a soon future. First goal is to get on my feet again.

 

Watching the Olympics was painful in some moments (including today) but mostly I enjoyed seeing some friends doing well.

 

I enjoy this reply to thank everyone who sent their good wishes since the accident happened. I wasn't able to reply at the moment, but I read everything and @heywoodu kept me updated too. Thank you so much for all kindness 💙💙💙 I am a totallyimpian not Olympian yet, but the word "yet" will drop off in 2026 😉 thank you all!

Fun fact: the rehabilitation process, which started last week, is basically entirely being done at Papendal, the Dutch national training center in tons of Olympic sports. The doctor and the physiotherapists there have taken Bruna in to treat her and help her get back to a normal level of sports fitness, awesome people! And the doctor happens to be the doctor of both the Dutch athletics federation and......the Dutch skiing federation, I kid you not  The world is tiny.
