Brazilian rhythmic gymnastics team claimed an unprecedented double gold at the World Championships in Frankfurt, Germany on Sunday, Aug. 16. The team, nicknamed the Lionesses, secured victory in both the five-ball routine and the mixed routine, which includes hoops and clubs. The Lionesses, comprising Nicole Pírcio, Sofia Madeira, Julia Kurunczi, Mariana Gonçalves, Maria Paula Caminha, and Maria Eduarda Arakaki, delivered flawless performances to a score of 29.450 in each event, surpassing the world’s highest score of the year set by China in June.
This marks the first time a team from the Americas has claimed the top spot in this event at the world championships.

Team coach Camila Ferezin expressed immense pride in her team's achievement, attributing their success to years of hard work, persistence, and overcoming numerous challenges.
