I hid it for a long time and I'm happy to be here now saying it without any problems.” Retired since XNUMX, due to ligament injuries, which prevented him from continuing in the sport, Vahaly is the father of twins, alongside his husband. He celebrated the fact that today there are a greater number of athletes accepting their sexual orientation, however, he emphasizes that he never managed to come out of the closet because, in his time, homosexuality “was still very stigmatized”.
