Dez medalhas em três dias de disputa. O Brasil fechou esta quinta-feira (29) com o ouro por equipes na espada feminina e a prata no sabre misto, no Regional das Américas de Paraesgrima, em São Paulo. São quatro ouros, quatro pratas e dois bronzes — o suficiente para liderar o quadro geral. A Colômbia também tem quatro títulos; fica atrás no desempate das pratas.
Na decisão da espada feminina, Carminha Oliveira, Rayssa Veras, Rudineia Manica e Mônica Santos superaram os Estados Unidos: 25 a 24. A prova teve apenas três seleções inscritas, por isso o Brasil foi direto à final, definida por sorteio.
Empate até o último combate, entre Rayssa e Stephanina Michaelis. A liderança mudou de lado nos segundos derradeiros, até que a americana forçou a prorrogação. O sorteio da prioridade ficou com os EUA — o Brasil precisava pontuar para ganhar. Aí veio o cartão vermelho: Michaelis se levantou da cadeira e foi penalizada. Placar fechado, ouro brasileiro.
No sabre misto, Rayssa Veras, Mônica Santos, Lucas Julião e Renato Santana passaram pela Venezuela na semifinal (20 a 12). Na decisão, a Colômbia levou (20 a 15).
As cadeiras de Julião e Renato foram trocadas no meio do torneio, depois que a organização questionou as medidas dos equipamentos. A mudança pesou para quem estava acostumado ao próprio material — Julião contou que quase caiu em um dos duelos.
“A cadeira para a gente é quase como se fosse um tênis velho. A gente está acostumado a usar ele. Com a cadeira nova, a gente tem que se reacostumar com um tênis supernovo e apertado”, disse.
Na espada masculina, Lenilson de Oliveira, Jovane Guissone, Moacir Ribeiro e Renato Santana ficaram em quinto lugar. Derrota com a Venezuela na estreia (30 a 29), vitória sobre o Quênia na sequência (30 a 11).
A competição termina no domingo (1º). Sede: Centro de Treinamento Paralímpico Brasileiro. A competição soma pontos no ranking que classifica para Los Angeles-2028.
