History was made! Can't wait to see these amazing women continue to thrive!

Brazil's first gold medal (at the Paris Olympic Games!!!) came from the effort and hard work of a black woman, surpassing the athlete from "Israel". Bia Souza is an example to be followed! Vai Bia & Free Palestine!

"First world" countries will never understand how much an Olympic/world championship medal means to Brazilians (and other "developing nations").

There are barely any scholarships for athletes, there are barely any endorsements or sponsorships. There's no infrastructure, no incentive...

Brazilians are on podiums because we persevere despite an entire system trying to stifle us.

Brazilians are on podiums despite, despite, despite...

Flávia Saraiva “Flavinha” (BRZ) on her fall during warm-ups on today’s Olympic Final for Artistic Gymnastics Teams.

Interview for TV Globo.

P.S.: Guys, I should probably have used other expression than “come to” when I translated. Flavinha didn’t say she passed out, I meant to use “come to” in the sense of “when she realized what was happening”

I found her retelling of the fall so funny that I subtitled it to share here. Flavinha was a beast today and we’re all so proud!

Goodbye, Paris!

Just finished digging in my recordings for this video:

So Brazil was doing its qualifiers and at some point between the first and second routine one of the girls, Victória Borges, got injured.

Did she stop though? Nope, because gymnastics is all about doing the thing through suffering, apparently.

Also because the rulebook doesn't allow teams to bring a reserve in case something like this happens.

So she just kept hopping on one foot and, though not doing the most difficult parts, still placed herself wherever the routine needed her so they could finish honorably.

And they did. They so much did.
