Para Nordic skier Cristian Ribera, Brazil’s best ever Paralympic or Olympic winter athlete, had big plans for the season preceding the Beijing 2022Games.
Instead, for more than four months his training was limited to home workouts, which included lifting bags of beans and rice, while in a coronavirus lockdown.
But Ribera is no stranger to making the most of a tough situation. After all, he is a Para Nordic star from a country where it hardly snows. Now after months of exercising at home, Ribera is back on snow and pursuing the same goal he set when he first began his Para Nordic journey - to win a Paralympic medal.
