He climbed to the highest place on the podium in Tokyo 2020 in the C1 1000m.
“I'm very happy to be able to represent my Bahia, my Northeast, the whole of Brazil. It's going to be an incredible ceremony. Mainly because I can represent my sport, which is still shy in Brazil. Put our little claws out. Certainly, after Paris, people will have more knowledge about this great sport. It's an incredible experience to be able to represent my country. I had the opportunity in Rio to do the closing. But now, being the flag bearer at the opening, it will be something very special”, said Isaquias.
The other chosen one is Raquel Kochhann, captain of the Brazilian Women's Rugby Team, and the COB praised the athlete's journey to Paris. The 31-year-old player retired from the sport in 2022 to treat breast cancer and a knee injury. Now, recovered, she receives the honor of carrying the Brazilian flag at the opening of the Games
“Being an Olympic athlete is difficult. This feeling of being at the front, carrying the flag for the whole world to see at an opening ceremony is something I can't explain in words. My penny hasn't sunk in yet, I think it's only when I'm there to know what I'm going to feel”, commented Raquel Kochhann.
The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games will be this Friday, the 26th, from 2:30 pm (Brasília time). It will be the first time that the event will take place outdoors in the history of the Olympic Games. The broadcast will be made by TV Globo, Sportv, Cazé TV and Globoplay.

“I feel very mature and I can enjoy the Olympic period more than before. I think it will be really good in Paris, especially because I will have my wife and two children by my side watching me closely, something I couldn't have in Tokyo. I will have more energy while fighting in the water, knowing that they will be right by my side”, said Isaquias
Isaquias will debut at the Paris Olympics on August 6th to compete in the C2 500m qualifiers. The C1 1000m individual event will be on the 7th. The speed canoeing events will be at the Náutico stadium in Vaires-sur-Marne, 30km from Paris.

Salesman Kauan said he was so nervous when he met the player that he forgot to remove the alarm from a piece of furniture, creating an unusual moment: " His father-in-law even joked with me afterward. It was an unforgettable experience ," he revealed.
Embiid didn't hold back. He brought jerseys for himself, his wife, his father-in-law, and his son , as well as accessories like shorts and thermoses. The visit even helped meet the store's sales goals. The center also obliged some fans and store owners by agreeing to take photos with them.
Embiid's connection with Flamengo isn't new. In 2023, during an interview with the NBA Freestyle program, he revealed that he started supporting Flamengo because of his wife's family: " Actually, I'm a Flamengo fan because my girlfriend's father is a fan . Since we started dating, I've been following the team," he said.

The defender even posted a photo with the star: " Nice to meet you, brother ." Thus, the relationship between Joel Embiid and Flamengo continues to grow, uniting basketball and soccer in a connection that already transcends borders.
