Brazil wins two historic gold medals at Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships

The Brazilian rhythmic gymnastics group achieved historic success at the World Championships in Frankfurt, Germany, securing two gold medals and a bronze.

On Sunday, the team won its first-ever world titles in the five balls routine and the mixed series (three hoops and two clubs), both earning a score of 29.450. The gold in the five balls event surpassed previous seasonal high scores, while the mixed series victory placed them ahead of Spain and Bulgaria.

This performance followed a bronze medal in the All-Around competition on Saturday, where the group scored 55.500, finishing behind Spain and Japan. The All-Around bronze medal officially secured Brazil an early qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

The squad, coached by Camila Ferezin, includes athletes Maria Eduarda Arakaki, Nicole Pircio, Sofia Madeira, Maria Paula Caminha, Mariane Gonçalves, and Julia Kurunczi. Coach Ferezin noted that the achievement is the realization of a dream built through years of persistence and hard work.
