Two-time World Champion, Olympic silver medalist, and one of the greatest athletes in the history of Brazilian sports. His record of winning challenges is long, but former gymnast Diego Hypólito, 38, knows that he is about to face one of the biggest challenges of his life starting next week: becoming one of the participants of BBB 25. Very competitive, Diego enters the reality show alongside his sister, also former athlete Daniele Hypólito, willing to experience everything in confinement.
Diego was an athlete with a resume full of achievements throughout his time in the sport. But despite this, he went through difficult times in the sport and had to learn to get back up. And he did it literally.
In addition to several injuries, the former gymnast had to overcome two consecutive falls at the Olympics, when he was a great hope for a medal for the country. In 2008, he fell on his butt and, four years later, he fell face down on the ground. Both of these falls frustrated the gymnast and the Brazilian fans, who saw the athlete's redemption up close in 2016, competing at home. Diego made history in the sport with the Olympic silver medal.[1]
