Flamengo finished its participation in the Brazilian Artistic Swimming Championships, held at the Júlio de Lamare Aquatic Park in Rio de Janeiro, in excellent fashion. This Sunday, the final day of competition, the "Mais Querido" (Flamengo) won three medals: two silver medals, one each in the mixed duet and the junior women's duet. The gold medal went to the senior women's team.
"And here again, another stellar performance by our swimming team. It's led us to receive awards from the Brazilian club committee.
