Jade Barbosa – bronze at Worlds 2007

I don’t know enough about Brazilian superstar Jade Barbosa.

… In 2007 Jade participated in the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, winning a gold medal on the Vault, a silver in the Team Competition and a bronze in the Floor final.

At the 2007 World Championships, Jade won a bronze medal in the Women’s All Around. She also qualified to the Vault and Balance Beam finals.

… in 2007 she was the Senior All Around Champion, defeating 2006’s champion Daniele Hypolito.

I like this bittersweet montage on her trials and triumphs, so far:

Click PLAY or watch Jade on YouTube.

The editor has more videos featuring Jade on her YouTube channel called Ginastica Artistica (Brasil).

Brazil produces more than their share of the best gymnasts and acrobats in the World. Good luck to Jade preparing for the Olympics.
