Last Wednesday (25.02) was the last day of the Chilean synchronized swimming team's exchange at the Gávea social headquarters. The girls from Chile and coach Márcia Leite exchanged experiences with the red-black team and Flamengo's coach, Roberta Perillier, and heaped praise on the Mais Querido.
"I've been a coach and an athlete here. We came to Flamengo because the club has one of the best coaches in Brazil, she was an Olympic coach (Roberta Perillier) and has an adult team that must be the best in Brazil right now. Besides the girls who are already on the Brazilian national team, in my opinion there could be others from here there. It's great to be around athletes of this level," said Márcia.
Natalie Lubascher, a 25-year-old Chilean athlete, also stated that the activities were very beneficial. "I was very happy to be here; it was a great experience, because we know that Flamengo is the best club in Brazil. It's great to train watching the Flamengo athletes and with the coach here," she concluded.
On April 10, the Flamengo girls compete in the fourth edition of the Brazil Sychro Open, a competition in Rio de Janeiro that brings together clubs and national teams.
