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!

Not really. At least those who competed in the World Cup in December seem to have what looks like (for the uneducated like us) a mix between a Mongolian and Chinese name. A logical guess would be they're from areas relatively close to Mongolia, which think might also be more logical than coming from the big cities like Shanghai. Same thing in speed skating every now and then.

They are from Xinjiang, most probably Uighur or a little possibility of Kazak. Northern Xinjiang is a good place for skiing and many Chinese skiing athletes are from there. Actually most Chinese winter sports athletes are either from freezing North East or North West(Xinjiang). rafalgorka and rybak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted January 30, 2021 #259 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Strange things happening every day: Theresa Johaug is struggling a bit. Also, a plague of frogs in Falun. Back into the lead, but is surely going to get scalped on the sprint finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
