The day that started with tears and ended with "grandpa back" was marked by Pimenta being crowned as a four-time K1 1,000 world champion in history. The athlete reached peak form and achieved the title he had always wanted, celebrating the victory intensely.
Pimenta did not forget how he was left with only bronze in 2025, which seems to have been a difficult moment in his career. That experience served as motivation to reach the best possible form for this competition.
The achievement represents a historic milestone for the athlete, who expressed his ambition by stating: "We made history, but I want to win more and more". The determination shown indicates that this fourth world title may not be the last of his career.
