Men's Artistic team training in Rio de Janeiro

A few days ago I posted here about the Women's permanent team in Artistic Gymnastics. I was so puzzled by the possibility of Jade or Daiane (or both) not making it to the team that I forgot to mention that there is also a "permanent team" for Men's Artistic Gymnastics. The selection system works not unlike the Women's team: CBG chooses a handful of gymnasts around the country and make them part of the team. The boys train at their hometowns' clubs with their own coaches. Twice a year they are required to stay together in order to go through a physical evaluation by CBG (Brazilian Gymnastics Confederation). The team is composed by athletes Diego Hypólito, Victor Rosa, Mosiah Rodrigues, Arthur Zanetti, Sérgio Eras, Francisco Barreto, Sergio Sasaki, Petrix Barbosa, Caio Costa, Vitor Camargo and Danilo Nogueira. According to CGB the athletes are staying together from July 27 to July 31 in Rio de Janeiro for training and evaluation.

  1. Thank you very much that was very informative. I can't wait until some of those younger guys grow up and maybe one day Brazil will be able to bring a team to the Olympics!
