00:00I understood that she saw that it was an important moment for me too.
00:05And she was there to make that happen for me, you know?
00:10To receive what I deserved.
00:12We fought a lot, everyone was fighting to be in that podium,
00:16everyone wanted to be in that place.
00:18And it was sensational, you know?
00:20The support we give to each other,
00:22when we encourage each other to be better and reach the highest places
00:27and always do our best.
00:29And I think it was a healthy fight, a very beautiful fight, you know?
00:33Everyone was looking at us and we were always laughing with joy,
00:36doing what we love there.
00:38But the most important part, I think, is the amount of support we give.
00:42When we want the other person to be fine too,
00:44that the other person also believes, that the other person also appears.
00:47And it was sensational, I felt very honored.
00:50And being a black woman in Brazil is something that makes me very proud.
00:54I feel that people also feel the pride,
00:56regardless of my result, you know?
00:58I saw a lot of comments like this,
01:00we are doing a lot for you,
01:02even if we don't have the medal, we are with you, you know?
01:05And that, for me, was something that changed my way of living,
01:10even my way of competing.
01:12I felt proud simply for wearing my necklace
01:15and being there representing my country.
