For Diogo, the support of family and friends is a big help, and he feels grateful because even “even with all the money and travel, they are always there.”
He also thanks Benfica and its sponsors, but says “more needs to be invested in the sport.”
“It could be the most popular sport in the Olympics and you have to invest.”
