His average is now 308, so he should be able to secure first ever Ecuadorian qualification by the end of the Sao Carlos races. If the heat doesn't kill them like it almost did today. I guess tomorrow it should be a bit closer, since everybody will be more used to the rollerski's they're using (organization provides them and then they have a draw to decide who gets which pair). Meanwhile Victor Santos seems to be dealing the final blows to Lucão in the fight for the Olympic ticket. In the women's race, Bruna was in destruction mode today https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/results.html?sector=CC&raceid=29688 She would have placed 11th in the men's race with this time, but probably even higher since the women had slower wheels than the men. More good news, there are two very young Brazilian girls who had their first FIS competition today. No world-class FIS points of course, but they just barely started training so it's a start and actually the first new young girls in Brazil since Bruna in 2014/15 hckošice 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!

heywoodu 13,504 Posted October 13, 2017 #74 Share Posted October 13, 2017 By the way, that is again a rather impressive performance from 16-year old Thomaz Moraes, considering he's not going for the Olympics, but the Paralympics 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!

He needs to improve his 5th score, currently 375, so something around 330 points should be enough to send him to PyeongChang! 264 today 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!

Too bad Salcedo didn't start, so there was just one real competitor against her and apparently Gabi wasn't good enough (yet, she will be) to really challenge her today. But still, a win is a win Edited October 14, 2017 by heywoodu 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!

dcro 10,172 Posted October 17, 2017 Author #80 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Apparently FIS is thinkingabout throwing skiathlon out of the big events and introducing biathlon-alike pursuit instead. All for the urban generation, of course. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
