Career

[edit]

Medrado began rhythmic gymnastics when she was nine and joined the Brazilian senior national group in 2018.[3] At the 2018 South American Games Medrado and her teammates swept the gold medals in the group all-around and both apparatus finals. She competed at the 2018 Pan American Championships where the Brazilian group won the gold medal in 5 balls and the bronze medals in the group all-around and 3 balls + 2 ropes.[4] She was unable to compete at the 2018 World Championships due to a foot injury.[5]

Medrado and the Brazilian group swept the gold medals at the 2019 South American Championships. She then competed at the 2019 Pan American Games where she won a gold medal in the 3 hoops + 2 clubs event and bronze medals in the group all-around and 5 balls event.[6][7][8] Then at the 2019 World Championships in Baku, the Brazilian group placed thirteenth in the all-around.[9]

In 2020, Medrado had surgery on both feet because her second metatarsal bones were causing pain.[10][1]

Medrado competed at the 2021 Pan American Championships in Rio de Janeiro. The group won the gold medal in the group all-around and secured the continental quota place for the 2020 Olympic Games. The group additionally won the gold medals in both the 5 balls and the 3 hoops + 4 clubs event finals.[11] She was then selected to compete for Brazil at the 2020 Summer Olympics in the group all-around alongside Beatriz Linhares, Maria Eduarda Arakaki, Nicole Pírcio, and Geovanna Santos.[12] They finished twelfth in the qualification round for the group all-around.[13] After the Olympic Games, she competed at the 2021 World Championships where the Brazilian group placed ninth in the all-around.[14]

Medrado competed with Maria Eduarda Arakaki, Nicole Pircio, Gabrielle da Silva, Giovanna Oliveira, and Bárbara Galvão at the 2022 Pan American Championships and successfully defended their group all-around title. They also won gold in the 5 hoops event finals, and they won the silver behind Mexico in the 3 ribbons + 2 balls final.[15] The same group then competed at the 2022 World Championships in Sofia where they finished fifth in the group all-around.[16] They also qualified for the 5 hoops final where they finished fourth.[17]
