Reflecting on his performance, João GERALDO said:

“I am very happy with the victory. The final was a very high-level match. It was a very special win for me, especially because my whole family was here, including my six-month-old niece. It was a very tough match against Marcos, an athlete I admire and respect immensely. But in this match, I gave my best to win and come out on top, and I’m very happy with the result.”

Tatiana GARNOVA shared her thoughts on her achievement:

“I’m very happy to be the national champion for Portugal. This victory is the result of many years of hard work, and the trust and support of my team.

There are still many goals ahead, and I’m ready for new challenges. Thank you!”
