“Brazil is falling more and more deeply in love with rhythmic gymnastics—the country’s most successful sport at the Pan American Games, ahead of the other Olympic sports in Team Brazil’s medal table,” said Brazil’s Gymnastics Federation head Luciene Resende.
The Brazilian, who competes in Grade IV (for athletes with mild impairments in one or two limbs or with moderate visual impairment), also secured a bronze.
Augusto Akio scored 92.00 points and won the silver medal. Pedro Barros got bronze scoring 90.00 points in the Arab Emirates.
It is the best position for a Brazilian woman in the history of women’s tennis in the country’s Open Era, initiated in 1968. Not long before, the shining star of the circuit was Brazilian Maria Esther Bueno.
Tite said there may be changes to the line-up of the Brazilian squad. However, the presence of striker trio Raphinho, Matheus Cunha, and Vinícius Júnior against Argentina, he said, is a given.
