We have our idols...


She is our lady “Dai”





















What do you think about Daiane dos Santos?

She’s 20 years old and was born in February 10, 1983, in Porto Alegre. She has been doing gymnastics since she was eleven, and she trains every day for five or seven hours.

Her first World Competition was in 1999.At the 2001 Worlds she got the 50™ place on floor exercises. She won a lot of medals to Brazil. In 2001, Dai surprised everybody when she got these positions in the “Pan-Americano”: 4™ place in bars, 3™ place in jumping and 1™ place in solo. In the last “Mundial”, she got the 5™ place in the solo exercises. Up to now, she has achieved 110 medals and 18 trophies.
I like her because I think gymnastics is very difficult, you have to be agile and strong, and have a good balance. And she is very skilful at it. She got a lot of medals and she is very good at gymnastics, in my opinion. I think she gives good example for young people, because when she was a child, she was very poor and she had to work hard to be good and famous as she is now.
