After four days of competition at the headquarters of the Brazilian Air Force Sports Commission in Sulacap, Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo confirmed its favoritism and became the four-time Brazilian artistic swimming champion. The "Mais Querido" (The Most Beloved) scored 342 points and took the tournament trophy. Paineiras finished second with 320 points, and Tijuca completed the podium with 224 points. The competition featured 96 athletes from ten clubs.
On the final day of competition, those at the CDA were able to witness a beautiful performance by the Brazilian National Team duo Laura Miccuci and Gabi Regly. To the sounds of Michael Jackson, the red-and-black duo enchanted the audience and the judges, earning the highest score of the entire competition (222 points) and the Brazilian title.
"We're very happy to maintain the red-and-black tradition in this sport. These were long, tiring days, but we did what we set out to do and are very pleased with the result. Congratulations to the entire team," said coach Jessica Noutel.
The competition also marked Jaddy Milla's farewell. The athlete will be taking a break from her career.
In the Junior category, Flamengo took second place.
