As reported by SIC Notícias on 29 March 2025, Olympic champion Nelson Évora has released a children’s book entitled Uma Medalha Mágica (A Magic Medal), aimed at raising awareness of bullying and childhood obesity, while promoting healthy lifestyles through sport.

During the book launch, Nelson Évora shared that the story was inspired by real-life experiences, with characters based on people who influenced his journey. The educational project, developed in partnership with the company Betweien, is designed for pre-school and primary school pupils, addressing topics such as diversity, fair play, solidarity and inclusion.

The initiative was presented at a school event attended by over 100 children and the Mayor of Odivelas. The occasion underscored the importance of promoting values like respect and empathy from an early age, using sport and healthy eating as tools to combat bullying and obesity among children.
