After the conquest, the Olympic medalist published a message on her social media profiles thanking the fans and dedicating the title to her father: “Thank you God. Thank you all for the cheering. This one goes to you, father Haroldo Leal. Happy Fathers Day. I love you”.
If Brazil shone in the women’s competition, in the men’s the participation was more modest, with Felipe Gustavo finishing 9th in the qualifiers.
Big up’s on an epic Final!
