O Campeonato das Américas de Paraesgrima 2026 teve, nesta sexta-feira (30), em São Paulo, seu quarto dia encerrado com duas decisões entre atletas do país. Rayssa Veras faturou o ouro da espada feminina A e Renato Santana levou o sabre masculino B.
Somadas as duas dobradinhas, o Brasil chegou a 14 pódios no torneio — seis ouros, seis pratas e dois bronzes no total. Rayssa superou Carminha Oliveira por 11 a 6 na decisão. A campeã havia eliminado a norte-americana Nicole Contos, 15 a 4, na semifinal; do outro lado, Carminha passou por Victoria Isaacson, conterrânea de Contos, com 15 a 9.
Amigas de longa data, as duas se enfrentam desde 2016. A decisão quase saiu dos trilhos: a faixa que prende a perna de Rayssa à cadeira arrebentou no meio do combate.
“A minha faixa de perna arrebentou e eu preciso da faixa para não cair. Aí eu gritei pelo Lenilson para me acudir. Ele trouxe a cadeira dele e eu consegui acabar o jogo”, contou ela, socorrida pelo compatriota Lenilson de Oliveira.
No sabre B, Renato faturou seu primeiro título individual no Regional ao bater Jovane Guissone por 15 a 3. Até a final, o campeão passou por Noah Hanssen, dos Estados Unidos, com 15 a 9; Guissone, dono do título continental de 2022, teve o mesmo placar diante do colombiano Hector Fabio Molano Barrios.
A conquista teve gosto especial: na véspera, na prova por equipes, Renato penou para se adaptar à cadeira. “Hoje consegui me desenvolver melhor na cadeira, então consegui chegar na douradinha”, afirmou.
Pela manhã, Kevin Damasceno foi o quinto no sabre masculino A, e Mônica Santos ficou em sexto na espada feminina B.
A competição prossegue neste sábado (31), com florete masculino e sabre feminino individuais, no Centro de Treinamento Paralímpico Brasileiro. Há pontos no ranking para os Jogos Paralímpicos de Los Angeles-2028 em jogo.
