Learn actions you can take to stay healthy and safe on your trip. Vaccines cannot protect you from many diseases in Brazil, so your behaviors are important.

Eat and drink safely

Food and water standards around the world vary based on the destination. Standards may also differ within a country and risk may change depending on activity type (e.g., hiking versus business trip). You can learn more about safe food and drink choices when traveling by accessing the resources below.

• Choose Safe Food and Drinks When Traveling
• Water Treatment Options When Hiking, Camping or Traveling
• Global Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
• Avoid Contaminated Water During Travel

You can also visit the Department of State Country Information Pages for additional information about food and water safety.

Prevent bug bites

Bugs (like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas) can spread a number of diseases in Brazil. Many of these diseases cannot be prevented with a vaccine or medicine. You can reduce your risk by taking steps to prevent bug bites.

What can I do to prevent bug bites?

• Cover exposed skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and hats.
• Use an appropriate insect repellent (see below).
• Use permethrin-treated clothing and gear (such as boots, pants, socks, and tents). Do not use permethrin directly on skin.
• Stay and sleep in air-conditioned or screened rooms.
• Use a bed net if the area where you are sleeping is exposed to the outdoors.

What type of insect repellent should I use?

• FOR PROTECTION AGAINST TICKS AND MOSQUITOES: Use a repellent that contains 20% or more DEET for protection that lasts up to several hours.
• Picaridin (also known as KBR 3023, Bayrepel, and icaridin)
• Oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or para-menthane-diol (PMD)
• 2-undecanone
• Always use insect repellent as directed.

What should I do if I am bitten by bugs?

• Avoid scratching bug bites, and apply hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion to reduce the itching.
• Check your entire body for ticks after outdoor activity. Be sure to remove ticks properly.

What can I do to avoid bed bugs?

Although bed bugs do not carry disease, they are an annoyance. See our information page about avoiding bug bites for some easy tips to avoid them. For more information on bed bugs, see Bed Bugs .

For more detailed information on avoiding bug bites, see Avoid Bug Bites .

Some diseases in Brazil—such as dengue, Zika, leishmaniasis, and Chagas disease—are spread by bugs and cannot be prevented with a vaccine. Follow the insect avoidance measures described above to prevent these and other illnesses.

Stay safe outdoors

If your travel plans in Brazil include outdoor activities, take these steps to stay safe and healthy during your trip.

• Stay alert to changing weather conditions and adjust your plans if conditions become unsafe.
• Prepare for activities by wearing the right clothes and packing protective items, such as bug spray, sunscreen, and a basic first aid kit.
• Consider learning basic first aid and CPR before travel. Bring a travel health kit with items appropriate for your activities.
• If you are outside for many hours in heat, eat salty snacks and drink water to stay hydrated and replace salt lost through sweating.
• Protect yourself from UV radiation : use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, wear protective clothing, and seek shade during the hottest time of day (10 a.m.–4 p.m.).
• Be especially careful during summer months and at high elevation. Because sunlight reflects off snow, sand, and water, sun exposure may be increased during activities like skiing, swimming, and sailing.
• Very cold temperatures can be dangerous. Dress in layers and cover heads, hands, and feet properly if you are visiting a cold location.

Stay safe around water

• Swim only in designated swimming areas. Obey lifeguards and warning flags on beaches.
• Practice safe boating—follow all boating safety laws, do not drink alcohol if driving a boat, and always wear a life jacket.
• Do not dive into shallow water.
• Do not swim in freshwater in developing areas or where sanitation is poor.
• Avoid swallowing water when swimming. Untreated water can carry germs that make you sick.
• To prevent infections, wear shoes on beaches where there may be animal waste.

Schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection that can be spread in fresh water, is found in Brazil. Avoid swimming in fresh, unchlorinated water, such as lakes, ponds, or rivers.

Keep away from animals

Most animals avoid people, but they may attack if they feel threatened, are protecting their young or territory, or if they are injured or ill. Animal bites and scratches can lead to serious diseases such as rabies.

Follow these tips to protect yourself:

• Do not touch or feed any animals you do not know.
• Do not allow animals to lick open wounds, and do not get animal saliva in your eyes or mouth.
• Avoid rodents and their urine and feces.
• Traveling pets should be supervised closely and not allowed to come in contact with local animals.
• If you wake in a room with a bat, seek medical care immediately. Bat bites may be hard to see.

All animals can pose a threat, but be extra careful around dogs, bats, monkeys, sea animals such as jellyfish, and snakes. If you are bitten or scratched by an animal, immediately:

• Wash the wound with soap and clean water.
• Go to a doctor right away.
• Tell your doctor about your injury when you get back to the United States.

Consider buying medical evacuation insurance. Rabies is a deadly disease that must be treated quickly, and treatment may not be available in some countries.

Reduce your exposure to germs

Follow these tips to avoid getting sick or spreading illness to others while traveling:

• Wash your hands often, especially before eating.
• If soap and water aren’t available, clean hands with hand sanitizer (containing at least 60% alcohol).
• Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you need to touch your face, make sure your hands are clean.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
• Try to avoid contact with people who are sick.
• If you are sick, stay home or in your hotel room, unless you need medical care.

Avoid sharing body fluids

Diseases can be spread through body fluids, such as saliva, blood, vomit, and semen.

Protect yourself:

• Use latex condoms correctly.
• Do not inject drugs.
• Limit alcohol consumption. People take more risks when intoxicated.
• Do not share needles or any devices that can break the skin. That includes needles for tattoos, piercings, and acupuncture.
• If you receive medical or dental care, make sure the equipment is disinfected or sanitized.

Know how to get medical care while traveling

Plan for how you will get health care during your trip, should the need arise:

• Carry a list of local doctors and hospitals at your destination.
• Review your health insurance plan to determine what medical services it would cover during your trip. Consider purchasing travel health and medical evacuation insurance.
• Carry a card that identifies, in the local language, your blood type, chronic conditions or serious allergies, and the generic names of any medications you take.
• Some prescription drugs may be illegal in other countries. Call Brazil’s embassy to verify that all of your prescription(s) are legal to bring with you.
• Bring all the medicines (including over-the-counter medicines) you think you might need during your trip, including extra in case of travel delays. Ask your doctor to help you get prescriptions filled early if you need to.

Many foreign hospitals and clinics are accredited by the Joint Commission International. A list of accredited facilities is available at their website ( www.jointcommissioninternational.org ).

In some countries, medicine (prescription and over-the-counter) may be substandard or counterfeit. Bring the medicines you will need from the United States to avoid having to buy them at your destination.

Malaria is a risk in some parts of Brazil. If you are going to a risk area, fill your malaria prescription before you leave, and take enough with you for the entire length of your trip. Follow your doctor’s instructions for taking the pills; some need to be started before you leave.

Select safe transportation

Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 killer of healthy US citizens in foreign countries.

In many places cars, buses, large trucks, rickshaws, bikes, people on foot, and even animals share the same lanes of traffic, increasing the risk for crashes.

Be smart when you are traveling on foot.

• Use sidewalks and marked crosswalks.
• Pay attention to the traffic around you, especially in crowded areas.
• Remember, people on foot do not always have the right of way in other countries.

Riding/Driving

Choose a safe vehicle.

• Choose official taxis or public transportation, such as trains and buses.
• Ride only in cars that have seatbelts.
• Avoid overcrowded, overloaded, top-heavy buses and minivans.
• Avoid riding on motorcycles or motorbikes, especially motorbike taxis. (Many crashes are caused by inexperienced motorbike drivers.)
• Choose newer vehicles—they may have more safety features, such as airbags, and be more reliable.
• Choose larger vehicles, which may provide more protection in crashes.

Think about the driver.

• Do not drive after drinking alcohol or ride with someone who has been drinking.
• Consider hiring a licensed, trained driver familiar with the area.
• Arrange payment before departing.

Follow basic safety tips.

• Wear a seatbelt at all times.
• Sit in the back seat of cars and taxis.
• When on motorbikes or bicycles, always wear a helmet. (Bring a helmet from home, if needed.)
• Avoid driving at night; street lighting in certain parts of Brazil may be poor.
• Do not use a cell phone or text while driving (illegal in many countries).
• Travel during daylight hours only, especially in rural areas.
• If you choose to drive a vehicle in Brazil, learn the local traffic laws and have the proper paperwork.
• Get any driving permits and insurance you may need. Get an International Driving Permit (IDP). Carry the IDP and a US-issued driver's license at all times.
• Check with your auto insurance policy's international coverage, and get more coverage if needed. Make sure you have liability insurance.
• Avoid using local, unscheduled aircraft.
• If possible, fly on larger planes (more than 30 seats); larger airplanes are more likely to have regular safety inspections.
• Try to schedule flights during daylight hours and in good weather.

Medical Evacuation Insurance

If you are seriously injured, emergency care may not be available or may not meet US standards. Trauma care centers are uncommon outside urban areas. Having medical evacuation insurance can be helpful for these reasons.

Helpful Resources

Road Safety Overseas (Information from the US Department of State): Includes tips on driving in other countries, International Driving Permits, auto insurance, and other resources.

The Association for International Road Travel has country-specific Road Travel Reports available for most countries for a minimal fee.

For information traffic safety and road conditions in Brazil, see Travel and Transportation on US Department of State's country-specific information for Brazil .

Maintain personal security

Use the same common sense traveling overseas that you would at home, and always stay alert and aware of your surroundings.

Before you leave

• Research your destination(s), including local laws, customs, and culture.
• Monitor travel advisories and alerts and read travel tips from the US Department of State.
• Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) .
• Leave a copy of your itinerary, contact information, credit cards, and passport with someone at home.
• Pack as light as possible, and leave at home any item you could not replace.

While at your destination(s)

• Carry contact information for the nearest US embassy or consulate .
• Carry a photocopy of your passport and entry stamp; leave the actual passport securely in your hotel.
• Follow all local laws and social customs.
• Do not wear expensive clothing or jewelry.
• Always keep hotel doors locked, and store valuables in secure areas.
• If possible, choose hotel rooms between the 2nd and 6th floors.

To call for emergency services while in Brazil, dial 192 for an ambulance, 193 for the fire department, and 190 for the police. Write these numbers down to carry with you during your trip.

Learn as much as you can about Brazil before you travel there. A good place to start is the country-specific information on Brazil from the US Department of State.

Healthy Travel Packing List

Why does CDC recommend packing these health-related items?

It’s best to be prepared to prevent and treat common illnesses and injuries. Some supplies and medicines may be difficult to find at your destination, may have different names, or may have different ingredients than what you normally use.

If you are not feeling well after your trip, you may need to see a doctor. If you need help finding a travel medicine specialist, see Find a Clinic . Be sure to tell your doctor about your travel, including where you went and what you did on your trip. Also tell your doctor if you were bitten or scratched by an animal while traveling.

If your doctor prescribed antimalarial medicine for your trip, keep taking the rest of your pills after you return home. If you stop taking your medicine too soon, you could still get sick.

Malaria is always a serious disease and may be a deadly illness. If you become ill with a fever either while traveling in a malaria-risk area or after you return home (for up to 1 year), you should seek immediate medical attention and should tell the doctor about your travel history.

Top 5 airlines serving from Toronto to Brazil

Food was not good, no options for vegetarian or gluten free

Captain and Crew were excellent. The Boeing 737-800 was showing its age. In flight entertainment system was sluggish and my Business Class seat on the outbound flight had some mechanical issues. Only real problem was the location of the Gate in Panama PTY. It was a 40 minute hike from Security to the Gate. There should have been some sort of warning about the distance.

This was my first time flying Copa but I'll definitely be back! Great service, professional agents, and delicious food for a fair price. Thanks for a great trip!

As usual, the flight with normal legroom was not very comfortable, but the second flight was much better because we had paid for extra legroom. It was very nice to check our bags without an extra fee.

other than a slight delay in takeoff from Panama , the flights were excellent ..... we will continue to use Copa whenever possible for flights to and from Central and South America ....

la atencion en el avion fue excelente, la facilidad del checkin es muy buena.

I liked the friendliness of the crew and comfortable flight. All good.

My experience it was okay but have many thinks to be better. For example the food, the comfort.

Just some cookies and water. There could be other options for food.

Airline lost my luggage and after 20 days it has not been returned nor refunded any money.

I do not read or speak in Spanish. Only English. When asking for help, the people spoke quickly in English and pointed a lot. I wish they would’ve spoken a little slower for me to understand. There was much confusion and hurried in their message and I was unclear as to where to go

I missed my plane because there was a lot of people during the migration process. The airline has the chance to care for their clients and they could get the passengers missing in the flight. I lost a day of work and Montfort transportation to go back home and go to the airport again. Unfortunately the airline doesn’t care about that. I use latam at least 4 times a year, so I guess I need to be treat better. In addition, one on my baggages didyarricw to my destination. So frustrated with this trip.

No air in the middle rows. Had a hard time breathing. Was dying of heat.

Flight from Lima to São Paulo didn’t have USB plug to charge the cellphone.

It was ok for the most part, it is missing something

the flight from Boston to Curitiba was on time actually 30 minutes earlier. latam was not able to unload the luggage for custom checkup in Sao Paulo ii took two and half hours . i missed the flight to Curitiba spend the night in hotel and then flying in the morning to Curitiba

The flight was overbooked and the solution gave was unrespctful. I arrived 4 hour in advance in the airport and only after 2hous was possible suggest a different ticket with another company LATAM, I have accepted, but when I was checking in at LATAM the tickets was issued without luggage, what it is absurd since I have bought my tickets including it since the beginning. Due to the timing for the next flight was not possible return to Avianca to claim due to the distance between Both companies Avianca and Latam since were located in different terminals. I have insiste to the crew of Latam to call Avianca to solve it, but they could help they were alleging that only paying a thousand pesos Mexicans ($1,000 MXN) to dispatch my luggage would be accepted and I have no money at all. So I had to beg for others passagens, it was an humiliating to exchange luggage with who was platinum in order to return back the luggage in the connection airport in Brazil (GRU). I have no clue that a judicial process would be taken from my side due the lots of stress in sequence by the non professional treatment with a passenger that was just following everything said by Avianca.. Long hours of waiting until next flight and only arrive at final destine in 6hs later..

I flew basic economy, so it was what I expected. Crew was nice though, and flight was quick. Would recommend for flights under 6 hours, otherwise would upgrade to something with more leg room.

Bad, they delayed my flight, lost my connection flight had to stay overnight for the next flight and missed a lot of important meetings. 1 day totally lost!

Airline staff was good the checkin process was ok but the plane itself was very bad the comfort was worst it was worst and the most stiff 5 hours of my life i felt claustrophobic

Everything got delayed we were supposed to land at 1pm and landes at 8-9 pm … was horrible

Calgary desperately needs a star alliance lounge in the transborder area for United.

Brutal delay of 24 hours on first floight the 3 hours in Chicago . Tiny seats , screaming child behind me kicking the seat … couldn’t be worse

Brutal as can be … delayed by 24 hours then delayed and hour on the tarmac then delayed three hours in Chicago, screaming child behind me kicking the seat for the better part of 10 hours… couldn’t be worse

My flight was delayed by a whole day, so I lost a day of my vacation.

The check-in and passport submission was complicated and repetitive, due to the poor communication between Air Canada and United. There should have been a single set of instructions and a single questionnaire that provided the data for both airlines.

-The cabin was ice cold - When we arrived in Houston there was no gate available -We had to wait 90 minutes for our luggage to arrive.. In the future I will avoid flying with Air Canada at at costs

$120 for a carry on bag !!!!!! Insane. Back-breaking seats. Do not recline. Food service is a disgrace. They give only water and a salty snack. Everything else has a price.

Flight delayed by an hour and 5 mnts, missed my connection from Ccs to porlamar, had to stay over night hotel cost and new tickets.

The inflight entertainment did not work on a 6 hour flight The cel phone chargers did not work There was a 45 minute wait for the luggage to get off the plane.

Seat space was terrible no food on a six hour flight

I don't think anyone actually reads these comments, so I won't spend much time on this submission. If you want to talk, you know how to reach me. The D/FW manager of Avianca (self-identified), Juan Calderon, insisted I buy an onward ticket from San Salvador even though I have diplomatic status in El Salvador and live here. It cost me $1,393 and Mr Calderon would not let me make the ticked flexible so I could get a refund. He went out of his way to be rude to me. He gave me seat 32K -- windowless window seat in the last row and did not offer to let me upgrade even though there were plenty of seats. I have flown well over a million miles in my life and this is the worst experience I have ever had. I would like a refund on the ticket I was forced to buy. Just awful!

This is the Spirit of Latino travel. And don’t even get me started on customer service.

Boarding was very expedite. The chairs are fixed you can't rest comfortable during the flight.

No comfort at all. You should add at least 1 meal or a bottle of water. I wanted to buy one sandwich and everything was gone.

There was absolutely no food or drink service unless it was paid for. I am not used to this.

My experience was amazing! They helped my elderly mother board on early through a wheelchair and were accommodating to have us sit together since our seats were in different locations. When landing at the airport in GUA they were very helpful with full of hospitality.

Delay Delay Delay Canceled Terrible customer service Ended up renting a car and driving overnight as that was an easier option than dealing with Air Canada

The seats were very uncomfortable. The food was terrible. They only came around with the drink cart for dinner and breakfast. What if we needed water or something? I had to take my pills in the morning with a pop I bought from the airport. Absolutely ridiculous! Will never be flying Air Canada again after this trip!

Flight was cancelled had to stay 29 hours at airport for next flight to Washington DC then to CVG

Flight attendants were delightful, smiling, anticipating needs, and overall excellent. Pilots kept us informed and made 1 of the best soft landings!

Pros: Convenient flight to Sydney Cons: Paying for headphones, paying to reserve a seat

Delayed flight and did not do a good job updating us. Entertainment selection was weak, but I was thankful to have the behind the seat screen. No interaction with crew.

Flight was delayed more than 120 min. I had carry on bag but the airplane was full and they had to get it checked in. I had to wait for the small carry on bag at the airport carousel

There was a delay and the staff handled it very well

Not good with Kayak … There is no customer service number to call ?? We have stuck at Toronto airport but air Canada don’t help because we bought tickets thru Kayak .. Kayak should have customer service number listed for help .. Very bad .. we will think twice to buy the tickets thru Kayak next time.. Ahluwalia

Crew was good. The plane was a Time Machine from the 80s. Entertainment was constantly lagging and looked like it was running on Microsoft 99 operating system. Seats were uncomfortable. Only food offered was pretzels for a flight running from 14:00-19:15 local Toronto time. Second time I’ve flown Air Canada and I will avoid it in the future as much as possible.

How Much Do Olympic Medalists Get Paid?

It entirely depends on what country they're competing for.

The answer is not very straightforward, as it varies by country, and by sport. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) does not give out cash prizes, only a medal, and at the Paris Olympics, a box with a poster as well as a stuffed toy version of this year's mascot.

"Imagine if the IOC were to organize the Olympic Games on a for-profit business model," the IOC said in a statement to NBC . "The event would be limited to those sports that generate the most significant revenues, and it would not involve athletes representing teams from 206 [National Olympic Committees]. It would not be Olympic Games as we know them. Yet, it is precisely the tremendous range of sports and the global provenance of the athletes that distinguish the Olympic Games from other events and make them so successful. The Olympic Games are the only event that brings the entire world together in peaceful competition."

Many countries, however, do award their athletes based on whether or not they won a gold, silver, or bronze. Hong Kong pays the most: $768,000 for gold, $384,000 for silver, and $192,000 for bronze, followed by Singapore. American athletes who win gold receive $38,000; silver $23,000; and bronze $15,000. Some countries, including Great Britain and Norway, don't pay medalists any cash. (See a full breakdown at CNBC . )

Track and field athletes, in addition, will get a cash prize at this year's Paris Olympics; CNN reported that World Athletics, the governing body of track and field, will award gold medalists prize money: $50,000 to each winner. (Relay teams will also receive $50,000, to be split four ways.)

WATCH: Heated exchange between Brazil and Canada volleyball players gets settled as DJ plays John Lennon's ‘Imagine' at Paris Olympics

A heated exchange between Brazil and Canada's beach volleyball team took center stage at the Paris Olympics when the DJ played John Lennon's 'Imagine' to quickly defuse the tension. The incident occured during the women's beach volleyball final on Friday, August 9, 2024.

Brazil's Ana Patricia Silva Ramos and Eduarda Santos Lisboa and Canada's Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson were involved in a heated argument during the third set. The players moved right up to the net's edge on either side to confront each other after Canada narrowed Brazil's lead to 11-8.

The situation de-escalated only after the referee intervened. As the players returned to their starting positions, the DJ pulled off an incredible move by playing John Lennon's soothing melody "Imagine," easing the tension and lifting the spirits. Even the players displayed broad smiles and applauded the choice of music.

The spectators were seen enoying the moment as they sang and waved their hands in unison at the picturesque Eiffel Tower Stadium.

Watch the video here:

Brazil defeated the Canadian squad two sets to one to clinch the Olympic gold medal at the Paris Olympics. This was Brazi's first Olympic gold in women's beach volleyball since Atlanta 1996. Switzerland's Tanja Huberli and Nina Betschart won bronze after beating the Australian pair of Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Taliqua Clancy.

The French hijab ban receives criticism from the Egyptian beach volleyball team at the 2024 Paris Olympics

The French senate banned the "ostensible religious symbols," including hijab in sports in January 2022. The guidelines were applied to the French athletes competing at the Paris Olympics in September 2023.

Doaa Elghobashy, who is representing Egypt's women's beach volleyball team in the French capital along with Marwa Abdelhady conveyed her dissent with the ban, emphasizing respect for all cultures and religions.

"I want to play in my hijab, she wants to play in a bikini," Elghobashy said. ""Everything is OK, if you want to be naked or wear a hijab. Just respect all different cultures and religions."

"I don't tell you to wear a hijab and you don't tell me to wear a bikini. No one can tell me how to dress. It's a free country, everyone should be allowed to do what they want," she added.

The Egyptian duo was seen donning leggings and long-sleeve t-shirts in all the face-offs while their opponents mostly opted for bikinis.

Brazil plane crash claims dozens of lives

Death toll revised to 62 after airline reports unaccounted for passenger.

Social Sharing

A passenger plane crashed in a residential area of a city in Brazil's São Paulo state Friday, the airline said, with local officials reporting that everyone on board the plane had been killed.

Officials did not say if anyone was killed on the ground in the neighbourhood where the plane crashed in the city of Vinhedo, about 80 kilometres northwest of the metropolis of São Paulo. But witnesses at the scene said there were no victims among local residents.

There was conflicting information about the number of passengers, with an initial statement saying there had been 58 passengers and a subsequent statement from the airline, VoePass, saying 57 passengers and four crew had been aboard the ATR 72-500 twin-engine turboprop.

"The company regrets to inform that all 61 people on board flight 2283 died at the site," the airline, VoePass said in a statement published Friday. "At this time, VoePass is prioritizing provision of unrestricted assistance to the victims' families and effectively collaborating with authorities to determine the causes of the accident."

On Saturday, VoePass confirmed another unaccounted for passenger was on the flight, putting the number of casualties at 62.

At an event in southern Brazil, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva asked the crowd to stand and observe a minute of silence as he shared the news. Friday evening, he declared three days of mourning.

Black box recovered, official says

The state's firefighters, military police and the civil defence authority dispatched teams to the location. São Paulo's public security secretary, Guilherme Derrite, spoke to reporters and confirmed that no survivors had been found. He also said the plane's black box was recovered.

Parana state's Gov. Ratinho Júnior told journalists in Vinhedo that many of the passengers were doctors from his state attending a seminar.

"They were people who were used to saving lives, and now they lost theirs in such tragic circumstances," Júnior said, adding he had friends on board. "It is a sad day."

Brazilian television network GloboNews showed aerial footage of an area on fire with smoke coming out of an obliterated plane fuselage. Additional footage on GloboNews showed the plane plunging into a flat spin.

Authorities began transferring victims to the morgue on Friday, and called on family members to bring medical, X-ray and dental records that could be used to help identify their loved ones. 

French-Italian plane manufacturer ATR said in a statement that it had been informed that the accident involved its ATR 72-500 model, and said company specialists are "fully engaged to support both the investigation and the customer."

The Capela neighbourhood where the plane crashed sits in a district far from the centre of the prosperous city that's home to 77,000 residents.

The plane departed from Cascavel, in the state of Parana.

Paris 2024 beach volleyball: Youth Olympic teen champions Ana Patricia, ‘Duda’ fulfil golden destiny a decade later for Brazil

How can you travel back in time?

Brazil’s Ana Patricia Silva Ramos and Eduarda "Duda" Santos Lisboa have the answer: Win an Olympic gold medal.

The Youth Olympic Games champions in beach volleyball relived their golden memories from Nanjing 2014 when they stepped on the podium again late Friday night, 9 August, at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 . And there was plenty of déjà vu about this moment in the French capital. Ana Patricia and Duda were playing together again, they beat a Canadian pair in three sets in the final again and the Olympic rings were once more their backdrop.

The difference was that this time around, their bond was even stronger.

"We have been remembering this every day. The Nanjing final was against Canada, and this one, too," Ana Patricia told Olympics.com after winning Olympic gold against Canadians Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson . "Many tournaments we made the finals against Canada, so we always wondered 'what if.' We feel so accomplished, so certain of what we built from years ago. It helped us in achieving this connection, this friendship."

Ana Patricia and Duda: Teen champions in Nanjing

The last time Ana Patricia and Duda stood on an Olympic podium, they were both 16 and still fresh on the beach volleyball scene.

Theirs had been an accidental partnership, but a successful one. They battled through the stages of the Youth Olympic tournament all the way to the final, where they beat Canadian twin sisters Megan and Nicole McNamara in three sets.

Gold was a good feeling, but shortly after, in 2015, the Brazilian pair broke apart . The athletes moved to different cities and formed new partnerships.

This decision appeared to work out for both of them. Ana Patricia and Duda moved up the ranks, had solid performances at various tournaments and managed to qualify for Tokyo 2020 with their respective partners.

Duda paired up with Rio 2016 silver medallist Agatha Bednarczuk and made it to the Round of 16 in the Japanese capital. Ana Patricia advanced to the quarter-finals together with Rebecca Cavalcante .

It was a solid result for their first Olympic Games, but back home in Brazil the prevailing mood was that of heartbreak. Tokyo 2020 was the first Olympic Games where Brazil did not get at least one medal in the women's or men’s beach volleyball tournaments since the sport was introduced in the programme at Atlanta 1996 .

The first-time Olympians felt the full weight of that disappointment.

" I used to consider Tokyo a big trauma in my life , especially because of all the offences I received online," Ana Patricia said. "But since then, I took that as a huge lesson in my life. I think I needed to go through that in order to grow as a person, as an athlete. What happened today wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t experienced the things I experienced back then."

Under pressure, together: The pros and cons of representing Brazil in beach volleyball

When Ana Patricia and Duda announced that they were reuniting in early 2022, the whole country lit up with expectations of another Olympic triumph. The pressure was unlike anything the young women had experienced before, and it only continued to build in the lead-up to Paris 2024 .

They arrived to the Olympic city as the world's No. 1-ranked pair, reigning Pan American Games champions and recent world champions. Their mission was clear. Brazil had not won the gold medal in women’s beach volleyball in 28 years . Youth Olympic champions Ana Patricia and Duda, now 26 years old, were the ones to get the job done.

Paris 2024 would not be another Tokyo 2020 .

The high expectations placed on the Brazilian pair were palpable at the Eiffel Tower Stadium. They could be seen in the venue's packed stands and in the Paris Métro, filled with people wearing Brazilian jerseys after every match. They could be heard in the voices of the Brazilian announcers, loud and emotional, screaming to spur on Ana Patricia and Duda, especially since every men’s pairing has fallen out of medal contention.

Down on the sandy court under the shadow of the French capital's most iconic landmark, the two women were trying to live up to these expectations.

Their run at Paris 2024 was dazzling. Until the quarter-final against Latvia, Ana Patricia and Duda had not lost a single set in Paris . That victory pitted them against Australia's Tokyo 2020 silver medallists Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Taliqua Clancy , and it was here their resilience was truly tested.

The Brazilians went down in the first set of the 57-minute-long semi-final, but rallied to win the next set and tie-break. Upon realising they had just booked a ticket to the Olympic final, the duo fell on their knees, raw emotion sweeping over them.

Duda dedicated the win to her late grandmother and revealed that she dreamed of her for the first time since her death the night before the big match.

“If it weren’t for my grandmother, none of this would have happened," Duda told Cazé TV. "My mother is adopted. They knocked on my grandmother’s door and my mother was there, so this is something out of a movie. For the first time in my life, after she passed away, I dreamed about my grandmother. I said ‘Paty,’ and she hugged me. I owe it all to her. She was poor, she built a beautiful family, she was a warrior. And she is there in heaven shining her light on us."

The Olympic final, "Imagine" and some birthday magic

The final showdown put Ana Patricia and Duda against world's no. 7-ranked duo in Canada's Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson. And if the Brazilians were out to regain their country’s winning streak in beach volleyball, the Canadians were eager to seize that country’s first ever gold medal in the sport.

Canada’s last and only medal in beach volleyball came at Atlanta 1996 when John Child and Mark Heese won bronze in the men’s tournament. Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson wanted to make sure the country's first Olympic medal in women's beach volleyball would be gold.

A victory over the Brazilian pair would also be, in a way, revenge. The athletes faced each other in the final at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games , with the Brazilians taking the win 2-0.

Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson came out strong, dominating the start of the first set. But spurred on by a large contingent of Brazilian fans decked out in yellow, flags at the ready, Ana Patricia and Duda fought back to tie the score at 17-17. The pairs then continued fighting point for point until Brazil took the first set 26-24 .

The second set was more even at the start, but the Canadians broke out after the 10-10 mark and sped away to take it 12-21 .

By the tie break , Brazilian announcers were screaming “Vai Brasil!” on repeat like an incantation, their enthusiasm multiplying when Brazil seized the first two points. Canada responded, and as the points continued to pile up on the scoreboard, so did the tensions.

A DJ's timely interjection of John Lennon's "Imagine" helped to cool the tensions during the women's beach volleyball final.

At one point, Ana Patricia and Wilkerson got tied up in a dispute across the net. Their gestures got increasingly more assertive, but then something magical happened.

John Lennon’s “Imagine” came on the speakers, and as people started to sing the song's timeless lines, calling for peace and unity, the athletes soon started smiling and laughing, the incident all but forgotten.

"Competitors show up in lots of different ways. I think, me and the fellow Brazilian, we have more similar styles, which is a little bit in your face, and it just came from wanting it so bad," Wilkerson told Olympics.com afterwards. "Actually, it was a total miscommunication. But when you're so in it, and you want it and you've worked so hard and you won't let anyone take it away from you, those sides of you come out and the 'Imagine' song was just a great reminder, like, 'OK, guys, it's OK, we're gonna keep playing fair, keep playing strong,' And we talked to each other after the game. It was all love and respect ."

"I have to say, I loved it," Humana-Paredes added. "I loved it because it shows the intensity of sport. It shows the competitiveness. It shows that we are more than just athletes. We have emotion."

There was plenty of emotion shown in the next several minutes as Brazil took the tie-break 15-10 .

Realising they had won Olympic gold, Duda screamed and stretched out her arms as she walked over to her teammate who stood frozen, hands over her mouth, her expression one of utter disbelief.

Ana Patricia remained in this frozen-like state as Duda rushed to the stands to embrace family members and friends. Once the realisation sunk in, she dropped to her knees, her head bent to the sand.

“I had an elbow injury , bone edema. I’ve had a hernia disc for six months on my back," Ana Patricia revealed later. "I couldn’t practise for more than 40 minutes for the past three months. I wondered how I would be able to do it with all the pain I was feeling. But it worked out, another hurdle was won. It’s a lot. If we are talking about every problem we faced … pain is the least of the problems."

Duda soon came to join her partner, kneeling on the sand.

"It’s over, thank God!" she said of finally having the pressure off her shoulders. "This pressure is over , we did it, we are Olympic champions. It’s something hard to live up to. We worked a lot mentally so we wouldn’t think about it and think about what we worked on.

"A lot of work, dedication, persistence and love for the sport [went into this medal]. This medal is a little piece of everything we built since we started in the sport."

The pair admitted they had a bit of "luck" on their side as well.

“We wore yellow and the same top and bikini every game," Duda said. "When we got out of bed, we got out on the same side every time. We hung our clothes the same way. In my life I am normal, but at the Olympics I said, 'OK, let’s do it.' ”

There was, perhaps, also the factor of multiple birthday wishes coming true. The Brazilian pair had celebrated one of the athletes' birthdays in Paris for three consecutive years. Ana Patricia's birthday falls on 29 September, which coincided with the Paris Elite 16 stages in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, it was Duda's turn to celebrate her birthday in the French capital, and she did so in grand fashion. The Brazilian pair faced Italian duo Valentina Gottardi and Marta Menegatti on Duda's big day, 1 August, and won their Olympic pool match in straight sets.

Their Olympic journey now complete, the Brazilian flag rose above the venue and the nation's anthem was sung so loud it would have been heard at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Ana Patricia and Duda now have a personal piece of that Eiffel Tower that they are taking home as part of their medals.
