MTC Natação, at the Brazil Swimming Trophy. The annual championship event features individual and relay-swimming events, and is one of the most notable in South America.Overall, the team took home 21 medals–good for second place.
MTC Natação’s success was a sibling affair. Nick’s younger sister, Gabi Albiero, was also on the club. Just like her brother, she’s a championship swimmer at the University of Louisville (she’s the Kentucky state record holder in the 50-meter free style).
As Nick put it on Instagram, the Albiero’s collected six–yes, six!–medals in 14 races. They came, and they ate!In a celebratory post, Nick said this medal is one of the most important of his budding career.“This was more than a medal,” he wrote, before thanking his coaches, including his father. “To the ones that reminded me health is always first.
after the first day i didn’t think i’d have another chance to stand on this podium. not for me, but for them. i’m grateful for this experience – the good, bad, and ugly.
