Flamengo continued to shine at the 2010 South American Games in Medellín, Colombia. Five of the club's synchronized swimmers won team championships with Brazil. Giovanna Stephan, Lorena Molinos, Michelle Frota, Joseane Martins, and Gabriela Figueiredo are the Flamengo swimmers, and five others also made up the Brazilian team: Beatriz Feres, Branca Feres, Nayara Figueira, Pamela Nogueira, and Lara Teixeira.
The Brazilian team won the gold medal by winning the free routine of the group, with 88,667 points. In the sum of the technical routines (86,500) and free routines, Brazil won with 87,584 points.
The Brazilian team competed by demonstrating the "Amazon, lungs of the world." In the technical routine, Brazil performed a choreography about the factory from Charles Chaplin's film "Modern Times."
The runner-up and silver medalist was Colombia, which scored 86,584 points (88,500 in the free routine and 84,667 in the technical routine). Argentina took bronze with 79,833 points (79,001 in the free routine and 78,167 in the technical routine).
With the result achieved in Medellin, Brazilian synchronized swimming has another reason to celebrate: it has stamped its passport to the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.
For the technical supervisor of the sport at CBDA, Sônia Hercowitz, the championship was great, as the technical level has improved significantly.
"The technical level of the competition has improved significantly, so much so that it hasn't been easy for Brazil to maintain its dominance. Argentina has significantly increased its performance, and even Aruba, which is competing as an invitee, has visibly grown in the sport. But the Brazilians performed very well, without exception, in every event. In addition to their creativity, originality, and technique, they have shown themselves to be more mature. The work is being done well," concluded Sônia.
