This Monday (5), after Gabriel Medina won the bronze medal at the Olympics in Paris, France, the surfer's mother, Simone Medina, gave a statement to Cazé TV. The matriarch stated that her son and she are “stronger”, and even left a message for the boy's rivals.
“For me it is a pride and a pleasure to hear this [praise for the surfer]. We raise our children to live with people, to live outside. So, when I hear things like that, [I think the] mission accomplished, right? Because we pass on [the teachings] for them to live out there. The ‘belts’ he took [as a child], because he was an attacker, a mischievous man, were worth it”, he said.
Simone continued: “Did you know that the person who taught him how to do aerials was me? Because he was naughty, he went overtime and I was waiting for him with the strap on, behind the door. And he flew about three meters, he did a few jumps... I trained him to jump off the belt, forget it.”
Medina's mother recalled the time she didn't speak to her son, due to a bullshit, at the time he was married to Yasmin Brunet. “I'm happy for him, I'm happy that he's happy. I'm happy that he's with Charles [Saldanha, Medina's stepfather], and that for us is a big victory. We had a bit of a boring period, but now, thank God, we're back stronger”, he reinforced.
Simone Medina ended by sending a message, which seemed more like a hint to Luiza Brunet's daughter : “So I'm already warning my opponents: 'we're stronger'. So, now, let them wait for us”, highlighted Simone, referring to her husband, who was away from the athlete after a family fight, which became public.
To Who doesn't remember, at the time of Yasmin and Gabriel's divorce, Medina's mother even said that Yasmin was a “porn actress” and that she had intimate videos of her with her son: “This information is not true. There is no such material. And it never existed. However, I need to emphasize that, even if it existed, it is regrettable to want to diminish a woman for exercising her sexuality”, highlighted Luiza Brunet's daughter at the time.
Medina and Brunet got married in a ceremony without the presence of relatives, in Hawaii, in 2021. Soon after, the couple stopped following Simone, and the surfer's stepfather, Charles Saldanha. At the time, according to the newspaper Extra, the athlete's family did not approve of the quick union and was afraid of the blonde's influence on the athlete's career.

Former player of Mais Querido mourns the death of the Pontiff, recalls messages of support and relives historic meeting at the Vatican in 2013

The death of Pope Francis , confirmed last Monday (21), generated repercussions in the sports world. Among the names that paid tribute, Ronaldinho Gaúcho stood out on social media when he remembered the Pontiff's connection with football and recalled a remarkable meeting between the two, which took place in 2013, at the Vatican. Francis, known for his passion for sports, especially football, died at the age of 88, after weeks of hospitalization.
Hi, you who taught us that in difficult times..."
About three weeks before the Argentine priest's death, Ronaldinho recorded a video for Scholas Occurrentes — an international organization created by the Pope himself — with words of affection and hope . "Hello, dear Francis. It was you who taught us that difficult times are when we need to have more faith... We are by your side. A big kiss!", said the former player in his message, which sought to strengthen the Catholic leader in his final days of life.
Soon after the Pope 's death was confirmed, internet users began sharing images of the meeting between Ronaldinho and Francis in the Clementine Hall of the Vatican's Apostolic Palace in 2013. The episode, which brought together players from Argentina and Italy, circulated again on the web and generated humorous comments among fans of the Brazilian star, who said: "I wouldn't doubt that this one will emerge in the conclave", in reference to Ronaldinho's relaxed style.
The Pope’s relationship with football went beyond the stands. He founded Scholas Occurrentes, an institution that brings together young people from different parts of the world through projects based on education, art and sport. The involvement of sports idols, such as Ronaldinho Gaúcho, helped to broaden the reach of the messages of solidarity and inclusion promoted by Francis during his papacy.
The former player, who played for Flamengo between 2011 and 2012, left his mark with 72 games and 28 goals . The star's performance at Gávea attracted thousands of fans and marked the resumption of his career in Brazil after years of prominence in European football.

It's no secret that Carolina Dieckmann and Preta Gil are longtime friends , right? In an interview with the videocast Conversa vai, conversa vem, the actress opened up about how she is dealing with the singer's illness. It's worth remembering that, since 2023, she has been treating bowel cancer.
According to the actress , who is currently on air in Vale Tudo, a 9pm soap opera on TV Globo , Preta used to omit some information about her treatment because of her reputation for being more sensitive.
She is a phoenix, with such beautiful strength and energy.
- She is always surprising. There is deep pain for what is happening to her, a desire to be close to her so she never feels alone. At the same time, there are lessons to be learned. She is a phoenix, with such beautiful strength and energy. When you think she is going to say something, she comes and hits you. She taught me while climbing the Trio River and continues to teach me from a hospital bed.
It's just a lesson. When she had to have her rectum amputated, she decided to go to New York to live for a week as if she didn't have cancer. Everyone was like, "Can I?" She made the decision and went. She came back ready for surgery.
Preta, who was in remission, discovered that the disease had returned in four different places. Part of the treatment, in this new phase, included amputation of the rectum and the permanent use of a colostomy bag. Recently, in an interview with Domingão, the singer said that there are no more treatments for her in Brazil and that, therefore, she intends to go to the United States to seek alternatives for her case.
