Flamengo's women's artistic gymnastics team continues to excel in Qatar. Rebeca Andrade on balance beam and Lorrane Oliveira on floor exercise won two more bronze medals this Saturday at the Doha World Cup.
The medals were added to the two from Friday's finals, when Rebeca won gold and Lorrane bronze on the uneven bars.
With less than a month to go before the start of the Tokyo Olympics, Rebeca has shown she's in top form. On the final day of competition, the gymnast won the bronze medal on the balance beam, with a stunning performance that earned her 13.133 points. Flávia Saraiva, meanwhile, fell at the end of her first acrobatic sequence and finished sixth with 12.100.
Lorrane Oliveira, in turn, once again demonstrated the Oliveira, a move she debuted in the qualifiers and has already been officially named after her. The move is a double pike twist with a half turn, an evolution of the "Dos Santos," which was designed and executed by former world champion Daiane dos Santos. And this time, the gymnast was even more precise, earning 12.633 points. On the podium, there was an Italian duo, with Vanessa Ferrari in first and Lara Mori in second, with 14.266 and 13.633 points, respectively.
The Doha leg of the apparatus World Cup finalized the Olympic rankings and was an important test for the Brazilian delegation before departing for Tokyo. In the women's event, Flávia Saraiva and Rebeca Andrade have qualified for the Olympics.
The artistic gymnastics teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo rely on resources from their sponsors – AmBev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR), in addition to support from the Brazilian Committee of Clubs (CBC) resulting from the decentralization of resources originating from the Pelé Law.
