Flamengo will once again prove its worth in international waters. The Flamengo synchronized swimmer will travel to Chile to participate in the Pan American Games of the UANA (Union Americana de Natación), which, this year, will feature junior athletes from across Latin America. Gabriela Regly and Laura Micucci will be the "Most Wanted" in the competition, competing in the duet events from August 21st to 27th in Santiago.
Gabriela, who participated in the South American Championship this year, along with the team, commented on the preparations and expectations for the event:
"We're very focused on this competition, which is one of the most difficult competitions of the year for us. But we're very confident and training hard to make sure everything goes well. Our goal is to always improve our score, with each swim, from competition to competition," said the athlete.
The duo will travel to Chile on the 21st, accompanied by coach Roberta Perillier.
The synchronized swimming teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo receive funding from their sponsors – AmBev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, and EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR), as well as support from the Brazilian Committee of Clubs (CBC) resulting from the decentralization of resources generated by the Pelé Law. The Anjo da Guarda Rubro-Negro (Red-Black Guardian Angel Project), a tax transfer for individuals, benefits all Olympic sports of the Most Beloved Club.
