Brazilian Isaquias Queiroz dos Santos won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. His success has inspired dozens of children to take up competitive canoeing in Tres Unidos, an indigenous community on the Amazonian river Cuieiras
Brazilian Isaquias Queiroz dos Santos won a gold medal at the Japan Olympics in the C-1 1000 meters event.
“He is such a great rower, he motivates me to row every day,” said 17-year-old Tailo Pontes de Araujo. “My dream is to take part in the Olympics and win medals.” Many of the youngsters are indigenous and most of them are at home on the water, where they regularly fish and travel in family canoes.
The project has been going since 2019 and Queiroz’s recent triumph in Japan has prompted a new influx of young hopefuls.
