Through your social networks, Where you always remain very active., Luisa Sobral He decided to share his thoughts about his relationship with sports and the way he has approached practicing different styles throughout his life.
transmission Paris OlympicsWhich ended today, Sunday, August 11, prompted the national artist to remember an episode she lived as a team, as well as all her experiences in her youth. Many of them did not end in the best way..
“A few days ago, before going on stage, I found my entire team looking at a mobile phone. What were they looking at? The Olympics. In all these years, I had never seen them interested in athletics or the long jump, yet they were glued to a small screen. The truth is, I found myself crying last week when I saw Swedish athlete Armand Duplantis break the Olympic pole vault record.“He started writing.
“The strange thing about all of this is not the fact that I cried (since becoming a mother I cry every time I sing Happy Birthday), the strange thing is that I cried while exercising, which is something I don’t like and that I only do it because they say it helps me live more time.He continued.
However, despite not hiding the emotions she experienced in the various competitions, Luísa Sobral recalled how “clumsyHe has always been very attached to sports, which has caused him a lot of problems.
Luisa Sobral: “The mirror always reflected me as fatter while the numbers on the scale went down”
“The second round brought my worst shock: the cross-country. It was just the beginning of the year and I had started the painful countdown. There is something in my body that makes it always stay in the same place even when running. It should be studied, and when I die I will donate it to science. By the way, you can also understand why I drink after two sips of sangria, but that is another conversation.“
“Throughout my high school years, I broke my fingers so many times that my parents became friends with an emergency room doctor.”
“On one of those visits, after a basketball game in PE class, the doctor asked me which finger was hurting, and I told her it was my right little finger, but it was also my left little finger. I thought it was strange, but she took X-rays of both hands. I left there with a cast on each pinky finger and the shame of having to go back to school the next day. To this day, I still can’t understand how basketball was able to accomplish such a feat.“The artist continued,” he said.
Memories that led to the following conclusion on the part of Sister: Salvador Sobral:The universe is tired of showing me that I wasn’t made for this and that I shouldn’t insist. Universe, I have won.“
However, it guarantees:I am committed to the gym and swimming, which, after having drowned me so many times, is the only sport I really enjoy doing. In addition to being safe, I know it will help me transition to water aerobics, which I will have to do in a few years, when I start to suffer from osteoarthritis and the things that happen when bodies become deformed.“
“I will continue to struggle with the Olympians in the upcoming Games, but of course, from my couch, where my heart rate remains stable, my fingers are safe and the biggest movement I have to make is reaching for the box with one hand. Tissues while watching a table tennis match“, he concluded.
