brunamoura

Today was my time slot, so some more tickets bought...
 
Two for the biathlon women's sprint for @brunamoura's parents, so we'll be there with our full group of 8  
 
Two for the biathlon women's mass start and two for the cross-country women's 50k mass start, both for @brunamoura and myself. If she suddenly qualifies to compete in the 50k, we'll see what to do with that spare ticket  

55th place for  Duda in today's U23 sprint qualifying. That's 11 points for Brazil in the ranking, alright, but more importantly for us: 11 points that @brunamouracan definitely make up in Trondheim.
 
Make up, you say? Yeah, here is the double situation: we want Brazil to get in the top-30 and have a second ticket, obviously, since it increases everyone's chance, including Bruna's. However, if Brazil has two tickets, the federation has decided that the first one will go to whoever gets the most points for the nations ranking. Duda is the only junior/U23 athlete who is in the fight for the Olympics, and therefore she obviously has a massive advantage simply because of her age - she can start in the U23 world championships, after all. She'll have the sprint, interval and mass start races to score points, plus the mixed relay.
 
That is quite a big points haul that is hard to overtake, considering she will of course also compete in Trondheim. The good thing about Trondheim is that, at least according to the federation's own rules, Duda is out of the team sprint, and so Bruna can make up quite a bit of points there. Finish way ahead of her in the sprint and the 10k as well, and the Schilpario points can be made up.
 
In other words, mixed feelings: we need Duda to do well in Schilpario, because of Brazil getting in the top-30, but we also need her not to do that well, or else a potential second ticket will simply be hers by virtue of being young enough to compete in the U23 world championships.
 
By the way, if Brazil ends up with 1 ticket, it will depend entirely on their internal rankings, which Bruna is leading with a large margin at the moment.

Just wanted to mention this.
 
This week's edition of the Keep The Flame Alive podcast will feature an interview with Bruna

Will be available late on Thursday European time.

Sounds like the classic example of an athlete not taking the time to read the rules....  

But Bruna Moura for sure! No pressure, like you said , LOL. 
 
#TeamMoura 

I’ll start first;
 
Obviously,  @brunamoura in cross country skiing if she qualifies  (no pressure) 
 
and  Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo.
 
Curling:  Team Hasselborg and Team Edin,  Kaldvee/Lill, and to a lesser extent  Team Fujisawa and  Team Schwaller
Ice Hockey:  Elias Pettersson/Elias Lindholm,  Pius Suter,  Arturs Silovs/Teddy Blueger, whichever Canucks are on  United States’ men’s team,  Filip Hronek and  Finland’s men’s team if Lankinen can keep up his good play (Even though he’s probably going to get traded from the Canucks after this season, he prefers being on a team where he can get more starts than more money. Still I have a soft spot for him)
Alpine Skiing:  Marco Odermatt,  Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde,  AJ Ginnis, Joan Verdu and to a slightly lesser extent  Johannes Strolz
Freestyle Skiing:  Jakara Anthony,  Birk Ruud,  Sina Sigenthaler,  Ryan Regez,  Kelly Sildaru (for more reasons than one),  Eileen Gu
Snowboarding:  Leon Ulbricht,  Marcus Kleveland,  Anna Gasser,  Benjamin Karl/Andreas Prommegger,  Zoi Sadowski-Synnott
Ski Mountaineering:  Oriol Cardona Coll and that’s it for now… 
Bobsleigh:  Kaysha Love
Short Track:  Robert Kruzbergs
Speed Skating:  Jutta Leerdam,  Jordan Stolz,  Marten Liiv,  Bart Swings
Luge:  Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl,  Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt
 
From a Canadian perspective, I’m rooting for our men’s hockey team above all. Then, our curling teams, especially Team Homan if she wins Olympic Trials. Then Max Parrot, Mikael Kingsbury, Eliot Grondin, William Dandjinou, our women’s hockey team, and our ski cross squad. But really I’ll be rooting for all of our athletes. 
 
I like Hammerle, but I’ll be rooting against him at the Olympics 

Thanks for the info! Waiting for the next updates!!!
 
Good luck today !!!  #TeamMoura

Good start to the season for @brunamoura, 375 FIS points in a mildly strong sprint field in Italy yesterday. Started well in the quarters, but fell because of someone in front of her hitting something that bounced back on the course. That's alright though, qualifying is what matters in the sprint and that went well for a first snow race in almost 2 years

10k today, starting a little after 10am. Getting under 300 points or so would be a nice way to start the road.

Idre will be the easy one for me to find probably, @brunamoura is there right now and her coach will compete tomorrow, so getting some info on start times shouldn't be too hard

Not really going to stay for the afterparty, so to say, because I desperately need to go to sleep now, but it was fun as always and thank you @Cinnamon Bun for all your effort! I know it was a shitload of stress, but you managed to get through it and we all had fun anyway
