danny silva, the portuguese olympian

It's a good thing we're not without representation at the 2006 Winter Olympics. The sole athlete there from Portugal is Danny Silva.


Visit his web site here.

Competing in the 15 km cross country classical, Danny competed yesterday, and made a great showing. Out of 97 athletes, he placed 94th.

Be proud! Força Portugal.

Hmmm...if I go by the photos, this one has a much better chance! Wait, at least there's Brazil ! She looks like she's got the best chance at this one. Well, I was going to vote online (you get 2 votes), but guess what, you have to pay 1 US$ to do that. Do I care that much about who wins? Not really, so, let others pay for you!
