Paolla Oliveira praises the big river for the runner-up: ‘courage and greatness never go out’

Paolla Oliveira, 42, used social networks to pay tribute to Greater Rio. The actress praised the achievement of the Duque de Caxias school runner-up at Carnival 2025, which lost the title for a tenth to hummingbird, just in the drums. “The grandeur is not measured, he feels,” she wrote in the caption of the video, which brought together several moments in front of the rhythms.

She, who announced her farewell to the post just before the revelry, after seven seasons, recognized the effort of the association: “Titles are important, yes. They recognize the work of a whole year. But there are achievements that do not get into tenths. Those who lived and saw, felt.”

Paolla continued to extol the school: “It takes courage to dream loudly. On Tuesday, we danced at risk, we vibrated in boldness. The great river not only paraded, she shook Sapucaí.” The actress also praised the work of Mestre Fafá and the rhythmists. “Your beat echoes in our hearts proudly. You were giants. We were giants. And we will always be,” he wrote.

She then concluded: “Carnival does not end on Ash Wednesday-it follows alive. And the story of the great river continues to shine, because courage and greatness never go out.”
