Standing at just 1.33 meters and weighing 31 kilograms, Brazilian artistic gymnast Flávia Saraiva was the smallest athlete at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. There, she stood out as the only Brazilian gymnast to qualify for the balance beam final, where she finished in an impressive fifth place.
She returned to the Olympic stage in Tokyo 2020 as part of Brazil’s team, though she narrowly missed out on a podium finish. Her most memorable Olympic moment came in Paris 2024: despite sustaining a painful eye injury during the team all-around final, Flávia pushed through and played a crucial role in helping Brazil secure a surprising and historic bronze medal.
