1. Rate the performance on a scale of 1-10
6,5 or 7
It was not terrible, but not good at all
2. What were the suprises and heartbreaks ?
Usually, we have some unexpected medals, which didn't happen this time. I could mention Women's Footbal as a surprise, once our performance in the last events was awful. I was expecting that these girls could fight for a bronze medal, but the silver was a real reward for them.
Heartbreaks, I'd say our Rhythmic Gymnastic Team. There was a lot of highligths over them, and one of our girls got injured between the first and second presentation on qualifiers.
Also, I was expecting a medal for Ana Sátila in Slalom Canoeing, she got very close in all three events. And our Boxing team, we were dreaming about 3 or 4 medals, with even a gold, and we finished with only one bronze medal.
3.Was your country's goal achieved?
No. In terms of gold medal, we were expecting less medals than the last Olympics, but it was even lesser. In the total of medals, it got close, but the goal was to overpass the record of 21 medals.
4. Which are the sports that will be invested more in future?
Current / Upcoming sports
At this point is difficult to say. I think women's football will get more attention because of the medal and the WC that we are gonna host. Imo, I think Brazil should improve its strength in those sports where we already have some tradition, and try to accelerate the grow in those discipline where we just have few representants.
For instance, Judo, Surfing, Skateboarding, Gymnastics, Canoeing, Sailing, Volleyball and some others, we already have potential, but we should arrive at the Olympics even stronger. And in sports like Wrestling, Weightlifting, Cycling, Shooting, Rowing we should amplify our participation
5. Who could be some the potential star for your country in LA?
I think Rebeca Andrade will keep being our superstar, once she got a better result than Rayssa Leal
