Article arrow_drop_down

A ginasta brasileira Rebeca Andrade foi a grande vencedora na categoria Retorno do Ano do Prêmio Laureus 2025, reconhecendo sua impressionante trajetória de superação. Após enfrentar três cirurgias, Rebeca retornou às competições com força total, conquistando quatro medalhas nos Jogos Olímpicos de Paris 2024, incluindo o ouro no solo. Rebeca tornou-se a maior medalhista olímpica da história do Brasil, consolidando-se como uma referência no esporte mundial.​

— Houve momentos na minha carreira em que temi nunca mais voltar ao nível que já estive – e para todos nós, nada é maior do que os Jogos Olímpicos. Quando olho para as quatro medalhas que trouxe de Paris, vejo o apoio que recebi da minha família, dos meus colegas de equipe e dos meus treinadores ao longo dessa jornada — celebra Rebeca, que complementa: — Na história de 25 anos desses prêmios, histórias de resiliência como essa inspiraram gerações de jovens, e vencedores anteriores incluem alguns dos maiores atletas de todos os tempos, como meu compatriota Ronaldo e Simone [Biles], que venceu este prêmio no ano passado.

Rebeca é a primeira mulher brasileira a conquistar o prêmio desta categoria em 25 anos de Prêmio Laureus. A última vez que a estatueta tinha ido para um brasileiro neste quesito foi em 2023, com Ronaldo, que também superou cirurgias no joelho para vencer em 2003.

A ginasta termina um jejum de quase 10 anos sem um brasileiro ganhar o Laureus. O último foi o nadador Daniel Dias, que venceu na categoria Paratleta do Ano em 2009, 2013 e 2016. Além dele e de Ronaldo, Pelé (2000, pela carreira), Bob Burnquist (2002, Atleta de Ação do Ano) e a seleção brasileira de futebol (2003, Equipe do ano) tinham levado o troféu para o país. Rebeca é, portanto, a primeira mulher a alcançar o feito.

Além de Rebeca, outros atletas também foram reconhecidos por suas performances excepcionais. Simone Biles, ginasta norte-americana, recebeu o prêmio de Atleta Feminina do Ano, destacando-se por sua excelência nas competições internacionais. Armand Duplantis, sueco especializado no salto com vara, foi laureado como Atleta Masculino do Ano, consolidando-se como uma lenda viva do atletismo mundial.​ge

A cerimônia de premiação, realizada no Palácio de Cibeles em Madri, celebrou as conquistas e superações dos atletas, reunindo personalidades do esporte mundial.

O Real Madrid foi eleito o Time do Ano, premiando mais brasileiros na noite: Eder Militão, Rodrygo e Vinicius Júnior, além de Marcelo, ex-Fluminense, de volta a Madri para celebrar a vitória de seu ex-clube. Lamine Yamal, de apenas 17 anos, venceu o prêmio de Revelação do Ano após conquistar a Euro 2024 com a Espanha.

Nos outros prêmios da noite, Tom Pidcock foi eleito o Atleta de Esportes de Ação do Ano, após vencer o título olímpico de mountain bike cross-country. A superestrela paralímpica da natação Jiang Yuyan levou o prêmio de Atleta com Deficiência do Ano após vencer sete ouros em sete provas.

Lista completa de vencedores

The Big Picture: Rams Ready for Seahawks, the Team Jared Verse ‘Dislikes the Most’

The rematch the Seattle Seahawks have been waiting for has arrived, but the Los Angeles Rams are just as ready as they are for Thursday's heavyweight NFC West tilt. Five weeks ago, the Rams edged out the Seahawks in a nail-biter at SoFi Stadium as Seattle kicker Jason Myers missed a 61-yard field goal at the buzzer.  Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold had his worst performance since joining Seattle in that game, throwing four interceptions. But with the Seahawks still having an opportunity at the end, defensive players like Leonard Williams and Uchenna Nwosu said afterward they couldn’t wait to face the Rams at their place for the rematch.Well, the Rams can't wait, either. While the Rams-San Francisco 49ers rivalry might be the most competitive in the NFC West considering their recent success, second-year edge rusher Jared Verse pointed at the Seahawks […]
