Bruno Fratus

Bruno Fratus is a Brazilian swimmer and bronze medalist. Within the 50 meters in Tokyo, said it “was a clear message” that soccer players do not feel part of the Olympic group. And don’t really care around it.

“They are also completely disconnected and alienate to the consequences. That this may bring to the numerous athletes who are not millionaires like them,” Bruno Fratus said.
