Flamengo will have six representatives at the South American Youth and Junior Aquatic Sports Championship, and the athletes are already preparing intensively for the tournament, which will take place in Colombia. Representing Flamengo and the Brazilian National Team in the youth category, Maria Luiza Fonseca, Jullia Catharino, and Jaddy Milla spoke about their expectations ahead of their first international synchronized swimming competition.

"I think it's great, it's a great opportunity. Brazil usually wins the South American Championship and we really want to win, continuing this winning tradition. We're training hard for that," commented Maria Luiza.

The tournament will take place from April 17th to 30th in the city of Cali, in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Another newcomer is Jullia, who also expressed excitement: "It's a very different experience from what we have here, and as an athlete, it's our first competition outside the country. It's very important for our growth in the sport."

Training hard and with a lot of focus, the red-and-black athletes are ready to achieve a good result in this year's South American Championship, reaffirming Brazil's strong performance in the competition. "We'll get there with determination," said Jaddy,
