Caio Bonfim loses the alliance, asks his wife forgiveness, thanks to his parents and is enthusiastic about talking about his children

The Brazilian is world champion in the 20 km athletic gear and becomes an athlete in the country with multiple podiums in the competition

Caio Bonfim It was pure emotion in his first interview after winning the gold medal at the 20 km athletic march in Tokyo, Japan. The 34 -year -old Brasiliense has revealed that he had lost the wedding ring during the race, he showed humor to ask his wife forgiveness, thanking the technical work of his parents and daily support and was excited to talk about his children.

Caio started the interview for the report of Sportv with a revelation. “I have to tell a story before. My alliance fell in the third kilometer. I thought: my wife will only forgive me if I am champion,” the Brazilian joked with the greatest number of medals in the world championships.

The athlete made a summary of the sensational test. The Brazilian only realized he had been first when he entered the stadium. “I grew up a lot in 13 kilometers, I was obsolete and then I grew up again. It was the world cup. I said:” Don’t give up. Don’t give up. “I thought I was second and fear of losing the podium, thinking that the Chinese and the Spaniard would fought there in the end.

Caio also remembered when he asked for the calm of his mother, when at the beginning of the race he was out of the elite platoon. “I asked calm because I was at a good rhythm. I knew I had to have breath in the end. He was afraid of not having reached the leaders and I had to show that I was under control. In the last two laps I could no longer endure it, but I could not surrender.”

The world champion also spoke of what went to the head at the end of the race, when he went to embrace his mother. “My eighth world, third time I do both (35 km and 20 km). Even the 50 who abandon training. When the arrival line passes as the best in the world, pass a movie. There are four medals. I remember that Caio watched the World Cup on TV. I was sixth in 2015, these films are going through. My mother, eight times Brazilian champion, I live in this sporting environment. Today he said we are world champions. I still didn’t understand anything. But it was worth it. “

In the end, Caio thanked the support of the sponsors, the Brazilian aeronautics, the confederation of athletics and recalled that next year he will challenge himself to the athletic world championship in March, to be played for his cause, in Brasilia, his hometown.

He finished the race in 1h18min35 and added the fourth podium in his career, the largest number for an athlete in the country. Brasiliense, second in the world ranking, had been bronze in 2017 and 2023 and won silver in March 35 km last Friday in this edition. Caio thus exceeds the legendary Sprinter Claudinei Quirino, who won three medals in the athletic worlds.

It is still only the third Brazilian who conquered a gold in worlds. First, only Fabiana Murer (jump with sticks in Daegu-2013) and Alison Dos Santos (400 m with barriers in Eugene-2022) had titles.
