00:00I understood that she saw that it was an important moment for me too.
00:06And she was there to make that happen for me, you know?
00:11To receive what I deserved.

00:16everyone wanted to be in that place.

00:20The support we give to each other,
00:23how much we encourage ourselves to do better and better
00:25and reach the highest places and always do our best.
00:29And I think it was a very beautiful fight, you know?
00:33Everyone looking at us and we always laughing with joy,
00:36doing what we love there.
00:38But the most important part, I think,
00:40is the amount of support we give.
00:42How much we want the other person to be well,
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 that I'm proud,
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,
01:04we are with you, you know?
01:06And this, for me, was something that changed my way of living,
01:10even my way of competing.
01:12I felt proud just for wearing my necklace
