The government has taken away an absolute shitload of money from the sports ministry to other ministries (not entirely sure which ones), which is causing very, very big problems in Brazilian sports at the moment (at least in the winter sports). CBDN (winter sports federation) can keep running for now, but CBDU (university sports federation) basically has no money to support any kind of team at a Universiade. Hold your horses, the plans for Brazil yo participate (at least in the Winter Universiade) are back! As of now it looks like Lucas Martins and Mrs heywoodu will compete in the cross-country skiing Sadly not in the much more exciting biathlon, but that's ok thiago_simoes 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I think event with 12 teams is much more exciting even if gold medalists is known before start of the competition, than event with two countries in it. And by the way, you think Russians will take gold in curling so easily? thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
