Nicolas Prattes says he did a day trip to run a marathon in Paris: “Less than 24 hours”

The actor Nicolas Prattes 27, stated that he made a round trip from Brazil to France, to run the first amateur marathon in the history of the Olympic Games, in Paris.

“I arrived at eight in the morning and I will be here for less than 24 hours,” he said on Saturday night (10) in an interview with the Fantástico program on TV Globo. The statement was broadcast on Sunday night (11).

The actor flew from Brazil to France on Friday (9) and arrived at his destination on Saturday morning (11), the day of the race. The marathon started at 9 pm and lasted, on average, three hours. According to the artist, the flight back home left the airport about six hours after the end of the race.

The need to travel in such a tight and tiring period was due to the fact that Prattes is actively participating in the recordings of episodes of the next 9pm soap opera, “Mania de Você”, in which he will be one of the protagonists.

“When you arrive in an Olympic city, which already has this atmosphere, it’s automatically as if my energy has been recharged,” he said.

Since announcing that he would participate in the amateur marathon at the Paris Olympics, Prattes has been showing his training and preparations on social media. Alongside his girlfriend, TV presenter Sabrina Sato, he prepared to run the 42.195 km route.
