Last week, the Brazilian Gymnastics Confederation announced new criteria for the formation of the Brazilian women's and men's national teams. The new rules will take effect at the Brazilian Adult Championships, which will serve as qualifiers this year.

In total, the Confederation made 12 places available for competition, for both men's and women's gymnastics, which will be divided as follows: two for the best overall results, four for the best placed on each apparatus and two defined by the technical committee.

Each athlete will undergo three evaluations during the selection process: technical, medical, and physical. In the first stage, each gymnast will be evaluated by apparatus and will receive a grade of excellent, very good, or good.

For specialists, as the athletes with the best performance on a specific apparatus are called, they'll need to excel on one apparatus and excel on the others. Male gymnasts perform on three, while female gymnasts perform on two.

If there's a tie in the scores, the tiebreaker will be the gymnast's final score. If the score remains tied, the decision will be made by the coaching staff.

Assessments of medical and physical conditions complete the requirements of the Gymnastics Confederation.

The selection for the formation of the Brazilian men's and women's teams will be the Brazilian Adult Artistic Gymnastics Championship, held in August of this year.

The Flamengo Regatas Club's artistic gymnastics teams receive funding from their sponsors—AmBev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, and EY—via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR), as well as support from the Brazilian Club Committee (CBC) through the decentralization of resources from the Pelé Law. The Flamengo Guardian Angel Project, a personal tax transfer, benefits all Olympic sports of the Most Beloved Club.
