Flamengo domination! Even in the water the red-black shines. The South American Youth Swimming Championship ended this Wednesday (20) and several athletes from Ninho do Urubu helped the Brazilian team to have their best campaign in the history of the competition. Over five days, athletes competed in different styles and categories.
The continental tournament had been taking place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, since September 16th, bringing together representatives from several countries. From Flamengo, there were four names representing the Sacred Mantle: Joice Otero, Manu Astori, Gabriel Oren and Rafa Sumida. They all received their medals, totaling 23 for the red and blacks.
This collaboration by Mengão athletes was essential, accounting for more than 21% of all medals won throughout the competition. Joice Otero brought home nine (4 golds, 2 silvers and 3 bronzes). Manu Astori, in turn, won five (2 silvers and 3 bronzes). Gabriel Oren did no different and also took five (4 gold and 1 bronze). Finally, Rafa Sumida won four (1 gold and 3 bronze). Brazil's campaign in South America was completely historic. The swimmers climbed onto the podium 108 different times representing the Brazilian flag.
The entire event took place at Parque Roca, in the Argentine capital, in the same pool that hosted the 2018 Youth Olympic Games. The event is for athletes aged between 14 and 18 years old. They are divided into two categories, by age: Youth A (14 and 15 years old) and Youth B (16, 17 and 18 years old).
The next edition already has a place to take place! The competition, organized by CONSANAT (South American Swimming Confederation), will take place in 2025, in Venezuela. Next year (2024) there will be the Masters of Aquatic Sports and the Absolute, both of which are not for youth, but which encompass other modalities that involve swimming.

Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid, MVP of the 2022/23 NBA season, once again demonstrated his affection for Flamengo . Last Thursday (21), the Cameroonian player was spotted in an official club store, in Cabo Frio (RJ) , where he made a point of purchasing several red-black products.
Although unusual, Embiid's presence in the Lakes Region has a reason. Married to Brazilian model Anne de Paula, the athlete often visits the city, where his father-in-law lives, during the holidays. This time, he took the opportunity to explore the "Nação Rubro-Negra" store and expand his Flamengo memorabilia collection.
The star's arrival took everyone by surprise and caused great excitement among the employees. Salesman Kauan said he was so nervous when he met the player that he forgot to remove the alarm from a piece of furniture, creating an unusual moment: " His father-in-law even joked with me afterward. It was an unforgettable experience ," he revealed.
Embiid didn't hold back. He brought jerseys for himself, his wife, his father-in-law, and his son , as well as accessories like shorts and thermoses. The visit even helped meet the store's sales goals. The center also obliged some fans and store owners by agreeing to take photos with them.
Embiid's connection with Flamengo isn't new. In 2023, during an interview with the NBA Freestyle program, he revealed that he started supporting Flamengo because of his wife's family: " Actually, I'm a Flamengo fan because my girlfriend's father is a fan . Since we started dating, I've been following the team," he said.
In January 2024, when Flamengo held a preseason training camp in Philadelphia, Embiid met Léo Pereira and Matheus Gonçalves . The defender even posted a photo with the star: " Nice to meet you, brother ." Thus, the relationship between Joel Embiid and Flamengo continues to grow, uniting basketball and soccer in a connection that already transcends borders.
