Brazil’s Olympic team

Four-time Olympian Daniele Hypolito, 31, will lead her fifth team, one that also includes her 2008 Olympic teammate Jade Barbosa, 2015 worlds team member and national champion Lorrane Oliveira, 2015 worlds team member Flavia Saraiva, and Rebeca Andrade, who suffered a series of injuries between 2014 and 2015, but helped her team to a first-place finish at the Olympic Test Event in April. …

“These five were very good at the test event,” Vidor said. “This team will not change, barring injury.”
