Ana Carolina Vieira and Gabriel Santos have been sanctioned for leaving the Olympic Village without authorization on Friday night (26). The athletes, who are in a relationship, allegedly committed indiscipline and were punished with a warning. However, Ana Carolina allegedly reacted “in a disrespectful and aggressive manner”, according to a statement from the Brazilian Olympic Committee, which led to the swimmer being excluded from the Brazilian delegation at the Paris 2024 Games. She will return to Brazil immediately. Gabriel Santos was left with the warning penalty.

Anna Carolina is 22 years old and started swimming under the influence of her parents who are firefighters.

The athlete had already participated in a fight.

According to the Brazilian Aquatics Federation, he has won 147 gold medals, 97 silver medals and 48 bronze medals in his career.

Ana Carolina has already attracted attention for another controversy. In May last year, she was allegedly involved in a fight with another swimmer, Jennifer Conceicao, during the Brazil Cup awards ceremony. She allegedly responded to a comment from her opponent by slapping herself in the face, and even rubbed her opponent’s face on a railing, prompting the intervention of other people around her.

In 2018, she won the silver medal in the relay race at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires. In 2021, at the Tokyo Olympics, she also participated in the relay competition.
