INSPIRATION
He says he and Brazilian triple jumper Almir dos Santos have pushed each other since they were teammates at junior level. "When Almir won the silver medal at the 2018 world championships, I was the first person he called. He always encouraged me to pursue my Olympic dream. We are like brothers. We used to practice giving interviews in our bedroom, because we wanted to learn to express ourselves in the best possible way." (gauchazh.clicrbs.com.br, 30 Apr 2021)
