Another world title! Impressive! Fernando Pimenta, a Benfica athlete, became world champion in K2 (29.2 km) on Sunday, September 7, winning the race held in Gyor, Hungary, to close the Marathon World Championships.

After winning the gold in K1 short distance (3.6 km), on September 4, Fernando Pimenta performed exceptionally well in the duo formed with José Ramalho in K2 (29.2 km), once again securing first place.

The race was tough and the differences between the three boats that finished on the podium were small. Fernando Pimenta and José Ramalho completed the course in 1:54:00.62 minutes, beating the Danish pair Mads Brandt Pedersen and Philip Knudsen (1:54:01.89 minutes). Hungarians Adrian Boros and Tamas Erdelyi came in third (1:54:03.85 minutes).

More Eriksson at the Club's museum

A group of 16 members of Sport Lisboa e Benfica donated the Cosme Damião Award to the Club – a tribute to the legendary Sven-Göran Eriksson  (who passed away on August 26, 2024). As coach of the Eagles, he successfully led the professional football team for five seasons (1982/83 and 1983/84, and 1989/90 to 1991/92). The honorable distinction was among the various belongings of the former coach that were auctioned in the early months of the year. João Pais, one of the SLB members, visited the Reserve, Conservation, and Restoration department, told the story, and delivered the award, a unique item that is now part of a set of 38,000 pieces in the collection.
