Judoka Beatriz Souza, 26, said she was surprised by the repercussion of her gold medal at the Paris Olympics. Back in Brazil, she said she was very happy and mentioned celebrities who reposted or commented on her posts on social media, such as Ivete Sangalo, Luciano Huck and Neymar.
“Yesterday was the first day that I was able to see and read all the messages. I read all the messages yesterday. I just didn’t… it’s impossible to repost. There’s no way, guys. Seriously, it’s impossible. But what impressed me the most is that I didn’t expect all this affection,” he said during an interview last Tuesday (6).
“Three million followers. Guys, I never thought I could get to this point. The affection from everyone, not just on social media, but in person, being recognized on the street… It’s crazy that someone can recognize me like this,” he said.
The judoka said she was very happy to have achieved all this. “I’m still shocked that Ivete Sangalo commented on my post. Seriously, when I read it I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was incredible. Many celebrities were reposting it too. Neymar reposted me. I felt, I’m not going to pretend to be natural, I thought it was incredible. Luciano Huck, many people.”
“I imagine that if I managed to reach celebrities, I can reach anyone, any distant child, who will recognize me and will be able to use me as inspiration to be able to succeed in life too. So I think that is what brings the most joy to my heart today,” added the champion.
