The Brazilian women’s artistic gymnastics team competed in the team final of the 2024 Olympic Games this Tuesday (30) and achieved an unprecedented feat by finishing in 3rd place and winning the bronze medal. The Brazilian team finished with 164,497 points in total, behind only the United States, which took gold, and Italy, with silver.
Led by the gymnast Rebecca Andrade who qualified for the four finals (individual all-around, vault, beam and floor), Lorrane Oliveira, Flavia Saraiva, Julia Soares and Jade Barbosa fought to bring the medal to the country. Meanwhile, cheering for the Brazilians, internet users flooded social media with reactions and memes about the competition.
Being one of the main competitors in the Olympics, the American Simone Biles is the focus of many memes. One of the jokes made by Brazilians about the gymnast happened after Flávia Saraiva fell, injuring herself during the warm-up for the final. According to some, it was her opponent who actually injured her.
The American’s reaction to a high score from Rebeca Andrade also had a strong impact on social media.
Other repercussions were made regarding the scores given by the judges. According to internet users, the Brazilians deserved higher scores, while other countries, such as China, deserved lower ones. Some even said that China is the new Japan, since the country was ahead of Brazil in previous competitions.
