Brazilian sport had surprisingly good news at the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup, which is being held in Pesaro, Italy. This Sunday (5th), the country took bronze in the two-ball and three-ribbon competition, with 28,650 points, behind only Italy (bronze in Tokyo) and Bulgaria, the current Olympic champion. The Brazilian team, formed by Bárbara Galvão, Deborah Medrado, Giovanna Oliveira Silva, Maria Eduarda Arakaki and Nicole Pircio (in addition to the reserve Beatriz Linhares) won only the second medal in the country’s history in this competition. The first was in 2013.
