Swimmer Ana Carolina Vieira Breaks Silence on Olympic Dismissal

As a lifelong sports enthusiast who has watched countless Olympic Games, I must say that this year’s emotional moments have truly touched my heart. Each athlete’s journey is filled with hardships, dedication, and unwavering determination, making their achievements all the more remarkable.


Ana Carolina Vieira is speaking out after her time in Paris came to an unexpected end.

The Brazilian swimmer was dismissed prematurely from the 2024 Olympics on July 28, as she and her boyfriend, Gabriel Santos, another member of Team Brazil swimming, departed the Olympic Village without authorization.

Ana shared on Instagram on August 1st, using the following words: “How a miscommunication shattered my Olympic aspiration,” accompanied by a video clarification. She emphasized that dedication, resilience, and learning form the bedrock of her success as an elite athlete.

In the video, the 22-year-old shared that she encountered quite a few negative comments, yet many positive ones as well, mostly from those who are familiar with her.

Ana assured her supporters that she’s doing as well as possible under the circumstances, yet she was deeply affected by the entire ordeal.

Still, she’s looking ahead, adding, “But everything is going to be solved at the right time.”

Apart from being an Olympic athlete, she also described herself as a high-achieving sportsperson. Her upbringing instilled in her the values of respect and good manners, as her parents, who served in the military, modeled these traits.

However, it appears Ana has been quite occupied as she informs her followers that she’s “resumed training and there’s a competition approaching rapidly.”

“Reflecting on my Olympic journey, I’m deeply regretful about how things ended for me. Initially, I had planned to compete just one more time, but now, I’ll be rooting for every athlete who’s still giving it their all. The entire Team Brazil, in particular, has my unwavering support.”

On July 27th, Ana participated in the 4x100m freestyle relay during a competition held in Paris. Her teammates were Giovana Medeiros, Maria Paula Heitmann, and Stephanie Balduccini. Unfortunately, their team ended up finishing seventh in their particular heat and overall ranked twelfth. The gold, silver, and bronze medals for this event went to Australia, the United States, and China respectively.

According to a statement from the Brazilian Olympic Committee, Ana was dismissed due to actions deemed as misconduct, specifically leaving the Olympic Village without permission on the previous Friday night.

Apart from this, it was mentioned that Ana was involved in another incident during competition. The Committee of Brazilian Olympic Swimmers (COB) stated in their declaration that Ana had shown disrespectful and aggressive behavior, challenging the technical decision made by the Brazilian Swimming Team committee.

Gustavo Otsuka, leader of Brazil’s swimming team, additionally pointed out that Ana’s response to the team lineup contributed significantly to her being let go.

Gustavo made it clear to Reuters that they weren’t there for leisure or fun. Instead, they were there to put in hard work for Brazil, representing the 200 million taxpayers who support them. He strongly disagreed with her stance, expressing his disappointment, regarding the formation of the relay.
