OPINION: At the start of a new season, let children dream

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 11:48

A new sports season begins, with the return of training, competitions, equipment, sidelines and gatherings of friends. There is an expectation that is unique to those who start a new path. For many children, it marks the beginning of another adventure. This article is an opinion piece that addresses the difference between children's perspective and adults' perspective when facing the start of the sports season. For some adults, what begins is a race focused on results, call-ups, starting positions, rankings and goals. The opinion being defended seems to be that children should be allowed to continue dreaming and enjoying sport, without the pressure of results that characterizes the adult perspective.

Why this matters

Readers who are parents, coaches or guardians of children who practice sport are called to reflect on their posture in the new season, avoiding turning children's sport practice into a source of excessive pressure. The article alerts to the need to preserve children's dream and love for sport.

Covilhã transforms Journalist and Sports Commentator Olivier Bonamici's Bet into a Festival and Prepares to Receive 1,993 Cyclists "Conquering the Tower"

The city of Covilhã hosts from September 18 to 20 the first edition of "1993 – Conquering the Tower / Serra da Estrela Cycling Tourism Festival," an event born from a personal promise by sports commentator Olivier Bonamici, made during a Tour de France broadcast, to climb to the Tower by bicycle. The municipality transformed the individual bet into a collective and non-competitive event, which sold out the 1,993 available spots (allusion to the 1,993-meter altitude) in less than 48 hours. The program includes a 26-kilometer climb on Saturday, September 19, with celebration checkpoints at Parque do Pião, Penhas da Saúde, and the Tower, a cycling fair (1993 Bike Expo), lectures, the launch of the book "João Almeida and the Magic Mountain," and, on Sunday, cycling tourism rides for road, mountain bike, and eBike.

1993 cyclists will help Olivier climb the mountain

The "1993 - Serra da Estrela Cycling Tourism Festival", promoted by the Covilhã City Council from Friday to Sunday, will feature 1993 cyclists who on Saturday will accompany Olivier Bonamici, a Eurosport commentator, on the climb to Torre (the highest point of mainland Portugal, at 1993 meters altitude), to fulfill a bet made last summer when he incorrectly predicted that Remco Evenepoel would win the Tour de France. The spots were sold out in less than 48 hours, and the commentator, who has already lost 31 kilos for the challenge, guarantees he will succeed "even if it's on foot or on his knees". The event also includes exhibitions, talks, music and cycling tours.
