aux Champs-Élysées... aux Champs-Élysées....... (a piece-thought on Paris 2024)

as i managed to caught up with the Paralympics closing ceremony, i think i should put my thoughts on this entire event and what this edition meant for me.

(deep sigh.)

i loved it.

i loved it so much i wish it didn't end from the second day i found myself too invested in it.

but it did end, and i can only express how joyful i am for experiencing this.

see, i'm from brazil, exactly from the place they hosted Rio 2016; the exact same place i first began to enjoy the Olympics and Paralympics, and began to feel that little spark of hope to always look forward to the next four years. it's in the same year of 2016 that i got to learn how joyful it is to cheer to my country, and to keep it up to 2020, then 2024, then on and on. and though i hadn't the same thoughtfulness in 2016 and 2020 to think further on what this means, today i got to ponder a little and compact it in this post.

Paris 2024 was the first games i got to see (on the tv of course) in its entirety, from beginning to end. in such a troubled year after another troubled year - with so many things to worry and with the lack of motivation, not knowing a proper reason to continue doing what i do - getting to watch athletes of all modalities join and do their best to achieve, and struggle, and get over their obstacles and break records... was so nice. was great to cheer for them, to stay in front of the tv and wish them good things and to continue and to hold it up, because they can get it, because they are capable of, felt like a great reminder of goodness. goodness, that is, to see the good in another; to feel the joy and spirit of togetherness, and have other people cheer for your country even if they aren't from here; to see how much we can conquer and realize, i am using "we" and not "them". we. we, as a whole, capable of so much. we, cheering for others, being kind, being nice, being those who incentive and, even if we criticize, we never give up. none of us do.

summarized, this feeling would be somewhat just pride of being a brazilian - which, yeah, i am feeling proud! i am feeling so, so, so damn proud. we swarmed places with our joy, we left our mark, we've been so eager to find gold medals where we really hadn't that it has became our routine to find greatness in the awesome things some wouldn't give a damn for. we made statements, called countries our siblings because how alike we were; we had lots of fun joking on other countries, too. there had the negative parts such as the robbery and disrespect and so, and that certainly was nerve-racking. yet, we did have our fun without forgetting to point the critic and know our place. we agreed a lot. we were "we", we got the medal, we broke records. we made "we" - and it's hard to explain, but it was a feeling. a quite nice feeling that was to gather with each other and jump and cherish, and cry at the sound of our anthem, and see our flag looking so beautiful up there in the podium regardless of which place it was hung on. this is what pride did; this is what pride made of us.

and see what this pride has led me to! those games made me feel confident in being who i am as a brazilian. in servers filled with people from north america and europe, being me felt really fun. a good part of these days i annoyed people by shouting "hey!! a bronze medal!! a gold one!! look at our ranking!! look at how far we went!!" and was glad people accepted it just fine! was glad that, because of me, probably, they cheered for my country and, look, they even spoke portuguese for me! and i was so immensely giddy to just speak in my mother tongue for once! and it felt so sweet, so sweet to be remembered of the good side of people... to know of your own good side too, that joyful little thing you still are, the one that can relish on hope and confidence and knows that obstacles can be broken, fears be unmade, and so many other things i could point out if i wasn't feeling so softened by speaking out this.

and what other things i could say... that my admiration for both artistic and rhythmic gymnastics has grown by a thousand? or how i am very distressed for ball-involved sports yet watch them anyways? or that archery and taekwondo FASCINATES me, and that i may have fallen in love with judo and breaking? and all of that while not being interested in doing sports, just keeping up with it and watching them do what they do for the pure enjoyment of it? i could tell, too, how interesting it was to learn more about the adaptations for the sports in the Paralympics; the devices for blind football, for swimming, and even getting to learn how boccia actually works! or i could say about meeting old faces, new faces, their names, becoming amazed with their performances, biding goodbye or welcome - as in, be welcome, you'll always make us proud; or goodbye, you will always be cherished, you'll always be a name many will remember in the future. yet... how can i properly put all of this into better and more coherent sentences?

well, i can't. maybe i'll never be able to. perhaps the only thing that will convey is this sheer hopeful pride of a game and the promise of becoming better than what we are... become that whose potential shall never be known as a waste. (or i am romanticizing everything and you may call me silly for this, heh.)

maybe i'm going too far and should just say that i've enjoyed those days quite a lot. very much a lot then. i'll miss the little guys from the openings too: the assassin's creed torchbearer (i'll always remember you...) and the gorgeous silver amazon/joana d'arc flagbearer, the dude in the phryge car who only sees mascots and, yeah, even the odd golden traveler of the closing ceremony. but mostly, them...

yes, them. THE PHRYGES!!!! these cute weird little red dudes!! like i swear at first i was weirded out by not understanding who they were but they grew on me, and now i kinda want a little phryge buddy for myself.

ahem anyway. i am extending myself and have been writing this for so long that i'm almost getting tired and losing my focus, so let's wrap it up:

merci beaucoup Paris, merci pour tout la fete et le bonheur pendant tous ces jours - je n'oublierai jamais ces jeux!! <3 <3

(this is the only good gif i could post here to conclude this post. don't judge me.)

Paralympics PSA!!!

If you watched the Olympics and loved it then you should 100% watch the Paralympics because it's just as great and in some cases the sports are even more insane than the Olympics (looking at you Wheelchair Rugby, affectionately also known as Murder Ball).

This year the Paralympics will be available to watch in over 160 countries on the Paralympic Games YouTube channel for the first time ever. And on the Paralympics website there's a full list of the official broadcasters for each country.

Root for your athletes, of pick a random country and root for them, the most important thing is ensuring that disability sport gets the showcase it deserves

Olympics are done, Paralympics are done... now can I say how sad is gonna be randomly turning on the TV and not finding a semi-unknown sport played astonishingly well by somebody whose last name I can't pronounce?
