Brazilian Athletes Drop Olympic Dreams To Help Flood Victims

Less than three months before the Olympic Games in Paris, Brazilian athletes from the devastated southern state of Rio Grande do Sul are giving up their dreams to compete and staying at home to help with the rescue of victims of the severe floods.

Rowers Evaldo Becker and Piedro Tuchtenhagen, due to competing in the qualifying phase for the Olympic Games in the lightweight double sculls category, decided to drop their sporting quest and join volunteers saving stranded neighbours, finding them shelter and distributing aid.

Their training was disrupted by the floods that inundated the streets of the state capital Porto Alegre after the river Guaiba burst its bank. So they began helping to distribute donations and rescue families and their pets.
