MILAN (AP) — Brazilian ski star Lucas Pinheiro Braathen has already shown the world he can dance, now he needs to brush up on his singing skills.
For the Norwegian-born Pinheiro Braathen admits he doesn’t actually know the Brazilian national anthem.
“I simply know how to dance, that’s my specialty,” Pinheiro Braathen joked in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday. “I think I need to (learn the anthem) with my ambitions, I’m tired of not having experienced the possibility of hearing that ring over the stadiums in the Alps.
“That is a moment that would bring me immense joy and I think it could serve as an inspiration to others and it’s about time that becomes reality and I don’t want to get caught red-handed.”
Pinheiro Braathen’s mother is Brazilian and his father is Norwegian
