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)

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 spri

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.

Those Swedish sprint races this morning are free to air, like the biathlon last week.

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

      Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková

      One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.

      I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us

      Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).

      Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.

      Also, I just logged back into my account, where it sent me to update my profile, and when I saved that, I got a screen that included a check mark next to 'Registered for the Draw'.  Not sure I totally trust it, but it does at least say so.  (There's nothing specifically referencing Drop 2 or anything...might just be a stock screen.). I'm curious what it would look like if you looked at it @esube.  https://tickets.la28.org/

      I didn't buy any tickets, but didn't get the e-mail.   We bought tickets on my wife's account (earlier timeslot), but not 12, and she got the e-mail.

      I am very curious.  We got extremely lucky in the first ticket drop, both my and my wife's emails were selected for relatively early time slots-- early enough that we bought our full allotment of tickets for good stuff.  Not swimming or gymnastics of course, but we were really pleased,  d   But today I received an email on one of those accounts saying that we were entered into the second drop because we hadn't used up our 12 ticket allotment.  I went back and counted-- twice-- and yes, we certainly did purchase 12 tickets on that account.      I am not sure I want any more!  Did this happen to anybody else?
