Next Friday (07.03), the X South American Games begin in Santiago, Chile. The continental competition brings together 42 sports, with athletes from the Adult category who are expected to appear on the podiums at the next Olympics, in Rio, in 2016. Giovana Stephan, a swimmer for Fla, will compete.

"My expectations are the best possible, as I believe Brazil will win gold in both events they will compete in, and I'm rooting for a good score," said Roberta Perillier, Giovana's coach at Flamengo.

The Flamengo athlete will compete for medals at the new Aquatics Center at the National Stadium in Santiago, from March 14th to 17th, alongside her partner, Luisa Borges. The girls will perform in the technical and free duets.
