Prêmio Brasil Olímpico celebrates Brazilian sport

Brazilian sport experienced a gala night last Thursday (2) with the delivery, at Cidade das Artes, in Rio de Janeiro, of the Brazil Olímpico Award, which crowned the best athletes and coaches in the country last season. And the highlights of the ceremony were gymnast Rebeca Andrade and runner Alison dos Santos, chosen as the best athletes, respectively, in the female and male categories. Owner of two Olympic medals (one gold in the jump and one silver in the all-around) at the Tokyo Games, the Flamengo athlete had a magical 2022, winning a gold in the all-around and a bronze in the ground at the World Cup Artistic Gymnastics held in Liverpool (England). “It makes me proud to represent gymnastics and Brazil around the world. I thank the whole team that was always by my side to come back every time, fulfill my dreams and goals after each injury, and Chico, my coach, who never let go of my hand. He’s almost like a father to me. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be here today”, declared Rebeca.
