At 19 years old, the São Paulo native from São Roque, who has been training since she was five, already holds the title of South American champion in the individual all-around, won in 2009. This year, Priscila won gold on the balance beam and parallel bars at the international meeting in Natal and was the second best placed in the individual all-around at the same tournament.
The gymnast's next challenge is the South American Championships, which will be held from August 4th to 8th in Santiago, Chile. For the championship, Priscila is confident that training at Flamengo will make a big difference.
"Here, everyone is focused on the same goal. The training is more intense, more geared towards international competitions. I'm sure I'll improve a lot here," he said confidently.
