Bringing Medals Home with Paralympians Veronica Hipolito, Mateus Evangelista and Yohansson Nascimento
As athletes competing for Brazil (@ocpboficial) in the Paralympics, Mateus Evangelista (@mateusvangelista), Veronica Hipolito (@vehipolito) and Yohansson Nascimento (@yohanssonf) are proud to show off the medals they earned at the games this week in Rio de Janeiro. The Paralympics run parallel to the Olympic Games and provide a platform for athletes with disabilities to compete on behalf of their country. While their performance on the track is a source of inspiration for anyone who watches, what inspires Yohansson is “the opportunity to bring medals to the Brazilian people.” Veronica adds “the opportunity to get better every day” is what inspires her. Yohansson (pictured left) and Veronica (middle), both sprinters for Brazil, earned silver and bronze medals at the games this year. Mateus (pictured right), a long jumper, earned a silver in his event.
