To test the mood ahead of the first Games to allow professional boxers, AFP interviewed three Brazilian team members, all from the northeastern state of Bahia, which some compare to Latin America’s boxing hub Cuba: Adriana Araujo, 34, a lightweight and Brazil’s only female medalist (bronze) in 2012. Joedison Teixeira, known as Chocolate, 22, middleweight. Robenilson de Jesus, 28, bantamweight, a quarter-finalist in 2012. MEDAL CHANCES? Araujo: “No one goes out hoping for a bronze or silver medal. We all want to be champion. The training is hard- er than the actual fight. We suffer to become champions.” Chocolate: “I was the first Brazilian champion in the 2013 World Boxing Championships and since then, expecta- tions have been raised. Last year I won bronze at the Pan-American Games and at the end of 2015, I won the Olympic trials where you had high-ranked fighters, including several boxers who’d already qualified. “I don’t feel much pressure because these are my first Olympics and so I’m going to do my best with a decent chance of a medal on the horizon.” De Jesus: “I came close to a medal in London.

  • Critical Analysis of the Performance of Women's Artistic Gymnastics in Brazil in the 2004- 2016 Olympic Cycles
    Molinari, CI.; Costa, VR.; Monteiro, KOFF.; Nunomura, M.: CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE … Vol. 10 Issue 3: 453 - 466 CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF WOMEN'S ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS IN BRAZIL IN THE 2004- 2016 OLYMPIC CYCLES Caroline Inácio Molinari, Vitor Ricci Costa, Kamau Osei Fregonesi Ferreira Monteiro, Myrian Nunomura University of São Paulo, School of Physical Education and Sport of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil Original article Abstract Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) in Brazil has been represented in the Olympic Games since 1980; however, a full team was classified only in 2004. Analyzing the Brazilian team’s participation over the last four cycles (2004-2016), we have identified several factors that implied in the WAG results. In this study, we discussed these factors and reflected on their contributions to the development of the gymnastics. The milestone of the 2001-2004 Olympic cycle is marked by the first participation of a full team, when foreign coaches came to lead WAG, the training system was reorganized, and the selected athletes began training in a centralized training system in Curitiba’s Training Center. The 2005-2008 Olympic cycle was more successful, as a consequence of the long-term planning. In the 2009-2012 Olympic cycle, the Brazilian WAG went through a period of turbulence, the training was no longer centralized, and the head coach of the Brazilian team returned to his home country. In the 2013-2016 Olympic cycle, with the headquarters of the 2016 Olympic Games in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian Olympic Committee devised strategies to boost the country’s success, which again drove improvement in the team results.
