A
XC-Ski Training Camp in Brazil ?!?
images
of a Brazilian Cross-Country Skier at Olympic Games in Vancouver
have created interest for XC-Skiing in Brazil…

… so the Snow Sports
Federation of Brazil (CBDN) organized a Roller Ski Camp in Brazil…

24 athletes met in São
Carlos (240 km North West of São Paulo) last Weekend where
palm trees and beautiful roads without traffic were waiting for
them…

… after a few stability exercises simulating skating technique
to warm up the muscles, Pedro and Gabriela were anxious to try
the Roller Skis…

…the skiers with yellow
jerseys are members of a Roller Skating Racing Team managed by
professor Tuca Reichert (…some of these kids grew up in
Favelas !) so they were quickly at ease on their skis without
poles…

…once they were stable
on their skis, we provided poles to some of them…

…but in Brazil, it is
more probable to cross a tattoo along the road then…

… a ski shop to buy
extra poles, so the father of Maria-Clara made a pair using branches…

…A Rollerski Training
Camp is quite a unique event in Brazil so the national TV did
not miss out on this opportunity to conduct live interviews…

Hey Emerson, what do think
about Cross-Country Skiing?… « This sport really chills!
»

Who knows, maybe someday you
will come across this likable Brazilian on a snow covered XC-Ski
trail nearby you.
Have a great dry-training
summer!
