Career

Summarize
Perspective

Domingos took up gymnastics at age six. She began her training as an artistic gymnast, but switched to rhythmic gymnastics upon a coach's recommendation.[4]

Domingos competed at the 2016 Pan American Championships in Merida, winning team silver, silver in ribbon and bronze in hoop.

At the 2017 Daytona Beach Pan American Championships, she won team bronze.

In 2018, at the South American Games in Cochabamba, Domingos won gold with ball, and silver in all-around, hoop and ribbon. At the South American Championships in Melgar, she won team gold, gold in all-around, hoop, clubs and ribbon, and silver in ball. At the Pan American Championships in Lima, she won team bronze and a bronze in ribbon.

At the 2019 Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships, Domingos placed 31st in the all-around competition, which was the best finish by a Brazilian gymnast since the 1975 edition, and the best position achieved by an individual Brazilian gymnast in a fully attended World Championships.[5]

She was the 2021 Pan American Championships all-around silver medalist. This placement meant that she fell short of winning a spot to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics, which went to gold medalist Rut Castillo. At the 2021 World Championships, she had her highest-ever placement, finishing 13th in all-around qualifications and 17th in the all-around final. She was the first Brazilian to qualify to the all-around final. At the end of the year, she underwent surgery for a hip injury and was unable to train for six months.[6]

On April 2, 2023, Domingos made history by winning bronze in the ribbon final at the World Cup in Sofia, becoming the first individual from her nation to medal in an event final in that type of competition.[7] On April 9, 2023, she also made history by winning gold in the ribbon final at the Grand Prix in Thiais, becoming the first Brazilian individual rhythmic gymnast to win a medal and a gold at the Grand Prix series.

At the 2023 World Championships in August, Domingos ended the all-around in 11th place. Her performance earned an individual berth for Brazil at the 2024 Summer Olympics. This was the first time a Brazilian rhythmic gymnasts had won a berth for the Olympics.[6] Domingos said of the achievement, "What I feel today is a sense of fulfillment. That says it all."[8] She was also the first Brazilian to qualify for an event final at the World Championships, as she qualified for the clubs final, where she finished in seventh place.[6]

In September, Domingos competed at the Pan American Games in Santiago, winning gold in all-around, ball and ribbon, and silver in hoop and clubs.[9] She was the first Brazilian to win the all-around gold and shared the podium with bronze medalist Maria Eduarda Alexandre, marking the first time two Brazilians made the all-around podium.[10]

Domingos began her 2024 season by competing at the Grand Prix in Thiais. She finished 10th in the all-around after dropping her apparatus in two routines and qualified for two event finals.[11] At the World Cup in Sofia, she finished in 17th place and did not qualify for any finals.[12]

At the 2024 Pan American Championships, Domingos defended her all-around title. She and the rest of the Brazilian gymnasts also won another team title.[13] In the apparatus final, she won another gold in hoop and two silvers in clubs and ribbon. She said the competition served as preparation for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics.[14]

At the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, she became the first Brazilian to qualify for the final of the rhythmic gymnastics individual all-around after finishing 8th in the qualifying round.[15] She was the only gymnast from the Americas in the final.[16] During the final, she struggled with her first routine, hoop, including letting it fall of the podium at the end of her exercise. She also became entangled with the ribbon at the beginning of her ribbon routine. However, her other two routines were stronger.[17] She said that despite the mistakes, she was proud to be one of the top ten gymnasts.[16]
