With the medals won at the Paris Olympics, the Brazilian team athletes were honored this Monday (12 ) at the CBF headquarters, in Rio, by president Ednaldo Rodrigues, directors and employees of the entity. Applauded standing up in the CBF auditorium, they took to the stage, wearing the team's uniform, for a symbolic celebration.
Called one by one by the Competitions manager, Aline Pellegrino, who was part of the winning generation of the beginning of the 2000s, the medalists heard from President Ednaldo Rodrigues thanks for reaching an Olympic final after 16 years.
“This is a tribute from Brazilian football to these warriors who fought so hard for the medal and have moved us in the last few days on this Olympic journey in France. This was a golden job. It was a very difficult trajectory, which had great harmony and rapport in each of the girls and the coaching staff, which built this path to the podium”, said Ednaldo Rodrigues.
“We are extending our Thanks also to all the directors of CBF, to the members of the arbitration committee, to the collaborators, to all those who make Brazilian football happen. I also want to congratulate the pioneers of all this, the trailblazers, represented here by several of them. They paved the way for us to have a consistent national team today, which always seeks results and does not allow itself to be overwhelmed by diversity”, continued the CBF president, referring to the former national team players invited to attend the event.
In his speech, Ednaldo Rodrigues also made a point of mentioning Antonia by name, one of the symbols of achievement at the Paris Olympics. The player played for several minutes against Spain in the first phase with a broken leg, which she would only find out about the following day.
When she played in sacrifice, standing in the middle of the field in the match played in Bordeaux, she prevented an opposing defender from advancing to try for more goals – Brazil, who played with one less in that match, due to Marta's expulsion in the first half, were outclassed on the scoreboard and could not concede another goal, otherwise, would be eliminated.
“There were many difficulties, game after game, a lot of traveling, the limited number of athletes that could be listed, the casualties without being able to make replacements, and you gave everything for this historic moment. They looked up to Antonia in that game. She was very important there, with her presence, a relevant fact for the classification, as we could not concede goals for the classification. Know that for everything you did, you will always be in the hearts of Brazilian fans”, said Ednaldo Rodrigues.

Flamengo shone at the South American Rowing Championships, securing 18 podium finishes , including seven gold medals, three silver medals and eight bronze medals. The competition reinforced the club's strength in the sport, consolidating its position as one of the leading names in continental rowing. Among the highlights, Evaldo Becker and Piedro Tuchtenhagen won the Lightweight Double Skiff (LM2X) event, achieving a symbolic result after a year marked by a gesture of solidarity.
In 2024, Evaldo, then representing Flamengo , and Piedro, who was still at GNU , competed in the pre-Olympic tournament in Rio de Janeiro and came very close to qualifying for Paris. The duo would have a new opportunity in the qualifying tournament in Switzerland, but they gave up on their dream after witnessing the tragedy of the rains in Rio Grande do Sul.
In the face of the natural disaster that struck the state, the athletes decided to interrupt their preparations and used boats to rescue victims trapped in their homes. In addition, they volunteered at shelters that took in homeless people, earning national recognition for their solidarity. Flamengo paid tribute to Evaldo by awarding him the Walter D'Agostino Award , which is given to athletes who stand out for their social impact and community engagement.

"Since I arrived at Flamengo , we have been working hard. In recent years, we have been reaping the rewards of this effort . We won the Lightweight Double event, where we came close to reaching the Olympics. It was a very important restart for our career," said Evaldo.
Piedro highlighted the emotional burden involved in the achievement: "It was a very difficult decision to give up the pre-Olympics, but it was something we needed to do. Everything we've been through goes through our heads. We faced many adversities and, after the whole process, reaching the competition and winning was gratifying. I felt like I was honoring my state and the people who suffered so much with the flood."
