SCHIAVON, Laurita Marconi; PAES, Roberto Rodrigues; TOLEDO, Eliana de  e  DEUTSCH, Silvia. Overview of the high performance Brazilian women´s artistic gymnastic: progression, reality and necessities. Rev. Bras. Educ. Fís. Esporte [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.03, pp.423-436. ISSN 1981-4690.

The Brazilian Women´s Artistic Gymnastics results in international championships are reflecting the high level of the athletes in the modality and expressing the evolution of this sport in Brazil in the last 10 years. Therefore, this article has the goal to present data about such evolution since the first participation of the Brazilian gymnasts in the Olympic Games (1980), and to reflect the development of the modality in Brazil. The data have been collected through a bibliographic and documental research. The data analysis showed a unstructured and immature process of the development of this sport in Brazil, revealing a very different reality from what has been exposed in the media.
