The author of the article swam around Manhattan on Wednesday, completing a 48km course in 8 hours and 35 minutes. The tide cooperated along the East River and the Harlem River, while the current aided the swimmer in the Hudson River, despite the headwind.

The aquatic challenge is known as the "circumavigation swim of Manhattan," a term explained by journalist Ariel Palacios. The journey took place on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

The article, published by GLOBO, recounts the author's personal experience in completing this aquatic challenge. The piece is exclusive to newspaper subscribers.

Filipe Toledo sees risk of WSL cut, but bets on Trestles, where he was world champion twice, to turn the page: 'I am resilient'

Filipe Toledo, two-time world surfing champion, is going through one of the worst moments of his career by sitting in 21st place on the WSL ranking, but places his hopes on the Trestles event in California, where he won his two consecutive world titles in 2022 and 2023. Despite Toledo's absence from the top 5, the "Brazilian Storm" continues to dominate the circuit with four surfers among the top five: Italo Ferreira (2nd), Yago Dora (3rd), Gabriel Medina (4th), and Miguel Pupo (5th), reinforcing Brazilian dominance in world surfing.

Philippe Coutinho reappears on stage as just another supporting actor

Philippe Coutinho returns to Santos seven months after requesting to leave the club, tearing the emotional bond he had built with Vasco fans. The midfielder, who was received with a huge celebration at São Januário in July 2024 — with more than 20,000 people, songs and personalized shirts — inherited the number 10 shirt that was worn by Roberto Dinamite, but failed to deliver the expected leadership on the field, generating anger and frustration when he requested to break the contract in February. The article analyzes the case as emblematic of the supposed naivety of fans when idealizing players.
