A remark from our site refers to the posted foto. We had the great honor of bumping into Flavia by chance at the Apple Store at Ground Zero during our New York trip in 2016. So it was natural for us to ask Flavia for a photo together. She allowed us to take this photo as a matter of course. Among great athletes, there are also wonderful and great characters.
Thank you, Flavia Saraiva, and good luck and a lot of success in your further sporting career!
