Hello, everyone. My name is Gian, and I'm from Brazil. My question right now is, what athlete do I admire?
I am not a big sports person. I had my periods in life that I was either watching soccer or now that I live in the United States, definitely watching more basketball. So definitely there were people that I was just like, "Wow, these people are very talented." In soccer, Ronaldinho Gaúcho. In basketball, my latest athlete was definitely Stephen Curry. I had the privilege to see Usain Bolt running as well. That guy is just incredible. Probably for the ones that are alive right now, I would say Usain Bolt. But if I have to choose one, it's definitely going to be Bruce Lee.
I said I'm not big into sports, but the only sport that I do and have practiced since I was very young is martial arts, and kung fu, and kickboxing. So I'm definitely into the martial arts aspect of it. Not the big fighting, UFC, super violent thing, but the more artistic, but impactful arts or martial arts. And Bruce Lee would definitely be one of my biggest admirations. Not only by his amazing technique and power but also the philosophy on life and all the wisdom he carries. So I guess he'd be my choice for the athlete that I admire the most. Alright, guys, hope to see you soon.
