In addition to the presence of Dirceu Pinto’s parents and his sister, who brought five medals to Brazil at the Paralympic Games, a giant panel was created that will be displayed in the competition area with a graphic of the athlete. And, the great sensation was the creation of the mascot Dibo, which is a contraction of “Dirceu” and “da Bocha”.
