This Sunday (6) was a historic day for Flamengo's synchronized swimming team. Invited to the sport's Pre-Olympics, a test event for the Rio-2016 Olympic Games, the red-and-blacks performed this morning at the Maria Lenk Aquatic Park to match the judges' panel in the Free Routine event, before the presentations of the national teams competing for a spot in the Olympics. The chosen choreography was with the theme "Warriors".
The Most Beloved had its team invited after having the best performance in 2015. The red-black representatives were Camila Ururahy, the twins Gabriella and Daniella Figueiredo, Jéssica Noutel, Maria Eduarda Wolf, Luiza Sagrete, Aline Vieira and Julia Campos.
"I've already participated in several World Cups and international competitions, with the national team and with Flamengo, at the Brasil Open. But today was the Pre-Olympics, it gives a taste of the Olympics, so it's an incredible experience, seeing the best countries in the world in the sport competing for a spot to come to our home. Maria Lenk is a pool we know, but the structure is different, the atmosphere too," said Gabriella Figueiredo.
The competition featured eight countries in the team competition and 24 in the duet competition. Brazil has already qualified as the representative of the Americas and host country, but also performed for the audience, with the red-and-blacks Lorena Molinos, Maria Clara Lobo, and Giovana Stephan.
The synchronized swimming teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo receive funding from their sponsors – Banco Bonsucesso, Furnas, Estácio, LafargeHolcim/Cimento Mauá, and EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR). The renovation of the Gávea Olympic pool is supported by investments from Lafarge and Ambev via the State Sports Incentive Law/State Secretariat of Sports, Leisure and Youth (ICMS), in addition to funds from the Agnelo Piva Law/Brazilian Confederation of Clubs (CBC).
