With the same charisma as ever, Jade Barbobsa once again shone and surprised spectators in international competitions. After two years away from the Brazilian national team and high-level competitions, the red-and-black gymnast smiled again and proved her potential during the World Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands, which began last Saturday (16.10/XNUMX).

\

Jade's most perfect performance was in the vault, where she achieved the second best score of the day (14.900). The Flamengo athlete finished 16th in the individual all-around.

Daniele Hypolito didn't disappoint her fans and made a difference by finishing 13th in the all-around with a score of 55.132. Dani was one of the main highlights on the floor with a score of 14.100.

"I was especially happy with the result in the individual all-around. But I was even more pleased with my performance on the floor. It was a clean and very beautiful series," said the eternal "Little Remarkable" of the Olympic sport.

With the participation of the red-blacks, the Brazilian artistic gymnastics team finished in eighth place in the team classification (217.130). Russia, China and Romania remain in the lead, respectively, with 234.521, 233.778 and 228.495.

"The qualifying isn't over yet, and big teams will be in action on Sunday (today), like the United States. But it was great that we finished eighth after Russia's rotation. Because our biggest goal is to be among the 24 best teams and qualify Brazil for the 2011 Pre-Olympic World Championship," Daniele added.
