A gaucho The 31-year-old announced this Monday (17th) that he withdrew from the call-up to compete in the Judo World Championship this year, next month, in Doha (Qatar). The list was released a little while ago and the highlight is Rafaela Silvaranking leader in its category.

As usual, Brazil is entitled to 18 places in the World Cup, nine men and nine women. The call gives priority to the best ranked Brazilians in the world ranking of the respective categories.

In addition to Mayra Aguiar, Larissa Pimenta also misses the team, who suffered an injury to her right knee and underwent surgery last month. Maria Portela and Maria Suelen Altheman recently announced their retirement.

Today, in the women’s category, Brazil is just not in the classification zone for Paris-2024 in the under-70 kg category. Even so, the coaching staff chose to take only one athlete in that category: Ellen Froner, 31st in the Olympic ranking.

In the men’s category, the absence of athletes from the up to 60 kg categories is noteworthy.
