The Flamengo announced the departure of athlete Isaquias Queiroz, a multi-champion for the club in canoeing. Following this outcome, the professional took to social media to comment on the moment, thanking the club for his time there and also praising the Red-Black Nation.
— I am here to give a special thanks to the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo for being part of this amazing fanbase and club. Coming from Bahia, from a small town, practicing a sport that no one knew, and representing Flamengo in national and world championships was incredible. I want to thank the entire Red-Black Nation for the messages. I'm here to express my gratitude; it was a magical moment — began Isaquias Queiroz.
— Some people asked me: “Why don't you live in Rio de Janeiro?”. It's quite difficult to explain, so I can't do it quickly, but I will talk about it later. I want to thank Flamengo and the fans. Wherever I go, I am recognized by the Nation. Now I will follow my path, but soon something good is coming — he concluded.
Isaquias Queiroz became an Olympic champion as a Flamengo athlete in Tokyo 2020, as well as a medalist in the Rio 2016 and Paris 2024 Games. Additionally, he represented the red-black club for seven years in his most recent stint.
