Flamengo opens Brazilian Artistic Gymnastics Championships at Nilson Nelson Arena in Brasília

The Brazilian Artistic Gymnastics Championships begin this Friday with Flamengo arriving in Brasília as defending champions. The Nilson Nelson Arena will host the nation's premier gymnastics competition, and Flamengo's elite squad is ready to chase their sixth consecutive crown. The Flamengo athletes completed their final training session today, delighting the young fans in attendance. Leading the charge are established stars Flavia Saraiva, Lorrane Oliveira and Rebeca Andrade, supported by rising talents Gabi Bouças, Júlia Coutinho and Larissa Machado. The club will also field Duda Montesino, Hellen Silva, Nicole Bello and Millena Lima competing across all apparatus—floor, vault, bars and beam—as individual entries without team point contribution. Larissa's return story stands out: after 19 months sidelined by injury, she claimed gold on vault at May's Troféu Brasil. Flavia dominated the beam in the same tournament, while Gabi and Lorrane swept silver and bronze on floor. In June, Rebeca made a triumphant comeback, topping the podium at the Rio Pan-American Championships with an outstanding vault performance. With this momentum, expectations are sky-high for another dominant showing that underscores Flamengo's sustained excellence in the sport.
