Less than four months before the Paris Olympics, Brazil reached the podium four times this Sunday (31), with one gold and three silvers, at the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup stage, in Antalya (Turkey). Jade Barbosa from Rio was the solo champion, after performing a series to the sound of the song “Baby One More Time”, by Britney Spears. There was also a shower of silver medals with Rebeca Andrade (uneven bars), Flávia Saraiva (beam) and Diogo Soares (fixed bars). The competition is worth points in the race for an Olympic place at the Paris Games. So far, only Diogo Soares and the Brazilian women’s team (Rebeca Andrade, Flávia Saraiva, Jade Barbosa, Lorrane Oliveira and Júlia Soares) are guaranteed a presence at the Games.
