FLAMENGO AT THE BRAZILIAN ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIP! AND REBECA ANDRADE IS BACK

Essential for child development, breast milk is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the “golden food”, giving rise to Golden August, a month to encourage breastfeeding. Thus, to reinforce support for the campaign, Flamengo's Social Responsibility department took, last Tuesday (27), water polo athlete Duda Martins, who is 26 weeks pregnant, and the club's mascots to meet the Maria Amélia Buarque de Holanda Municipal Maternity, a reference in humanized care for pregnant women, in the center of Rio.

As part of the activity program, the athlete received guidance on the breastfeeding process and the importance of breast milk in child development and in building bonds together with other pregnant and postpartum women cared for by the maternity ward.

“Flamengo's presence here today is extremely important because all actions aimed at Agosto Dourado aim to support, promote and increasingly encourage breastfeeding. Encouraging breastfeeding on demand, increasing breastfeeding time allows society to understand the real benefit that human milk has for both babies and mothers”, said Carla Navarrete, coordinator of the Nutrition and Dietetics Service at the Maternity Hospital and president of the Unit's Breastfeeding Committee.

“Visiting the Maria Amélia maternity ward was an incredible experience, I could see that the maternity ward is really very intense. I answered questions, learned and prepared myself a little more, and had contact with other pregnant women. Each of us had different doubts and fears, which were fully welcomed by the team that welcomed us. It was a pleasure to be part of Flamengo's social responsibility action”, said athlete Duda Martins.

Production assistant Josiane Portugal, who is also pregnant and undergoes prenatal care at the maternity ward, added. “Today I learned that only breast milk is enough and no other milk is needed for the child to grow up healthy. I loved Flamengo's presence here today. I'm a Flamengo fan, my family is Flamengo fan and I was very happy to know that Flamengo supports breastfeeding”, she praised.

As part of the proposal to humanize motherhood, the athlete received a beautiful pregnancy painting, which allowed you to understand how your baby is positioned inside your belly.

Flamengo is in a presidential election year and, as a result, campaigns have begun to be publicized. Thus, one more person applied for the election: Delair Dumbrosck, who is part of the group "Nação Sem Fronteiras".

In publicizing the campaign, Delair Dumbrosck spoke about his projects and what he thinks about the growth of sports Olympics. Furthermore, the pre-candidate also showed a sustainable solution for building his own stadium. Finally, the candidate spoke about the alternatives to internationalize the club's brand on the world stage.

Delair is an entrepreneur in the market segment real estate. Within Rubro-Negro, the pre-candidate was already president of the club in 2009, when Márcio Braga left the position. Thus, at the head of the management that had Marcos Braz as manager and Adriano Imperador on the team, the candidate for the election won the Brasileirão that year.

In addition to Delair Dumbrosck, Rodrigo Dunshee, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Maurício Gomes de Mattos, Pedro Paulo, Wallim Vasconcelos and José Carlos Peruano are also competing for the presidency of Flamengo.

The elections will be held on the day December 9, in Gávea. The time for members to vote will be from 8am to 9pm. Thus, during the day, members will choose the candidate who best fits the club's profile to lead the three-year period.

The Paris Olympics end this Sunday (11) and Brazil had a campaign below expectations. However, she won three golds and one of these achievements came from Rebeca Andrade, who won the floor final. This past week, the Flamengo gymnast shared on her social networks a training video landing the Triple Twist Yurchenko, an unprecedented jump.

In July, a video from the Brazilian Olympic Committee ended up leaking an excerpt of the jump. Now, it is the first time that the athlete shows the complete Yurchenko movement with triple pirouette. The vault could be named Andrade if Rebeca manages to perform it in an official International Gymnastics Federation competition.

Rebeca had the TTY as an ace up her sleeve for the vault final in Paris. The new flight would be worth 6.0 difficulty points, which would still not reach the 6.4 points of Biles II, the Yurchenko Double Pike. However, Rebeca didn't feel confident enough to perform the new element and chose not to risk it,

"I really wanted to do it because I trained a lot, but at the same time I wasn't 100% confident as I feel. doing the others", explained the Brazilian, after the Paris jump final.

As it had never been performed in FIG competitions, Rebeca's jump It still doesn't have a name in the artistic gymnastics code, and therefore, if the athlete performs it, it can be named after her. However, for the Mais Querido gymnast, the desire to perform it has another reason: fun.

"I really want to do the triple, but I don't know if it's to put my name in the code, is it more like doing the triple, because it's really cool." confessed the gymnast, laughing and extending the "very" to reinforce her own idea.
