A day of practice and an evening family dinner
“I’ll be home on my birthday,” said Alison, a two-time world champion and an Olympic silver and gold medal winner. “The plan is to have a normal day, with training and everything else, and join my wife, my mother and my sister for dinner in the evening to celebrate. December 7 was also my father’s birthday (Abilio, who died on January 30, 2018), so we try to get together and celebrate the great memories we had with him during his life.”
With the fifth and final Brazilian event for men scheduled next week in Saquarema where he and Alvaro Filho won the second and third legs, Alison said “getting back to competition has been important for our bodies and our minds. After six months without tournaments, it’s been good to be able to get that rhythm back.”
