00:00Two-time champions Sheila, Fabiano, and Jaqueline made their Olympic farewell appearance at the Rio 2016 Games.
00:06But the goodbye wasn't exactly what they expected.
00:10After a perfect campaign in the first phase, without losing a single set.
00:14The match between Brazil and China in the quarterfinals was practically a premature final.
00:19That game against China was a stroke of bad luck for us.
00:23I'm not even saying it was an accident, I think it's part of life.
00:26We were playing against a great team on the other side as well.
00:29Whether they liked it or not, they were the champions at that time.
00:32So, we lost to the champion.
00:35Despite the frustration of elimination and the pain of defeat, it was a bitter farewell.
00:41One thing stuck in the players' minds.
00:44The experience of competing in the Olympic Games at home and the presence of the fans at the Maracanazin
00:50The Olympics didn't end the way we wanted.
00:54But I think it was very important for us to have had that experience.
00:58Nobody knows which year I'll have this now.
01:01So I had this experience of playing here in my country.
01:04So it was a very special year.
