Thank you for the upload. I wasn't aware of this remarkable athlete. 🏅🏅 🇧🇷 🇧🇷

[@sacanajero2008]

In Brazil nowadays if you ask anybody who this legend is, they will not know! It's a completely shame!
All they do is talk about ayrton Senna.

São Paulo remembers

[@luizfelipevercosa]

It needed a german coach to find the talent and recruit Adhemar to the triple jump category. This shows how many untracked talent this huge nation has!

[@marcionovaes4270]

The golden stars on SPFC shirts (and everywhere else) is not a tribute to just a fan. Adhemar Ferreira da Silva was an athlete of São Paulo FC when he won both gold medals.

He taught himself Finnish? Jeez...

[@ascfisico03]

Yes he had an outstanding to learn himself different languages as English, French, Spanish, even Finn, as well he had 4 different graduations and worked for Brazilian Diplomacy. He was (and is still) the greatest Brazilian sportsman of all with Ayrton Senna, Guga and, now, Gabriel Medina.

As duas estrelas amarelas no escudo do São Paulo é em homenagem as duas medalhas de ouro q ele ganhou.

[@rcaymond395]

How many things became legends during Helsinki? Finland must have a charm for creating records

[@ascfisico03]

Including Emil Zatopek with his 3 Olympic Gold medals (5,000 m, 10,000 m and the Marathon).

[@jasminejohnston6393]

It was the Beijing 2008 Olympics that encouraged me to try a triple jump in high school once. Never got the hang of it!
