The Brazilian women's artistic gymnastics team began training today (September 14.09) at the Claudio Coutinho gymnasium in Flamengo. Jade Barbosa, Daniele Hypolito, and Priscila Cobello represent the Gávea club and are joined by Daiane dos Santos, Adrian Gomes, Bruna Leal, and Ana Claudia Silva, who complete the team. The seven gymnasts will train in Rio de Janeiro until Sunday (September 18.09), accompanied by coordinator Georgette Vidor, coaches Ricardo Pereira, Iryna Iliashenko, and Adriana Alves, and physiotherapist Igor Letra. Tomorrow's training session (September 15.09) will be open to the press at 9 a.m.

Jade Barbosa, who just won a gold medal at the Ghent World Cup, is motivated to achieve another Olympic qualification in her career.

"There's not much time left, and I can't help but be excited. We're all focused on achieving another Olympic qualification for the Brazilian team. It's difficult, but we've been preparing for a long time. We want to show that Brazil is increasingly a reality in gymnastics," she said.

This will be the final stage of preparation for the World Cup in Japan, a qualifier for the Olympics, which will be held from October 7 to 16 in Tokyo, and the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, from the 19 to 31 of the same month.
