Cross-country skiing: "It means everything. It's the whole

universe to me," says Bruna Moura


At the age of 31, Brazilian Bruna Moura realized her Olympic dream. 74th in the sprint qualifier and 99th in the individual skate, far from the top places, she was nonetheless greeted by a standing ovation at the finish. "I've been waiting for this for so long," she told Sportbladet after the sprint qualifier. "It means everything. It's the whole universe to me."


For the Olympic debut, the Brazilian slipped a photo of her best friend, who died suddenly of a pulmonary embolism, under her wetsuit. "We spoke one day. The next day, she was gone... It's still difficult... She said she'd be there when I realized my dream. It was my way of having her by my side."


More than just a result, Milan/Cortina marks the culmination of a lifetime of fighting. "We did it," she concludes.
