"Of the six athletes selected for each category, five youth and four adults are from Flamengo. This is the first competition of the new Olympic cycle, heading to Los Angeles. Despite being a friendly tournament, it brings together very strong countries, such as the USA, Italy, France, and Canada. It's a unique opportunity for our gymnasts to gain international experience. We're going with a full team, with three coaches—myself, Angelo, and Renata—to provide all the necessary support."
