Career

Medrado began rhythmic gymnastics when she was nine and joined the Brazilian senior national group in 2018.[3] At the 2018 South American Games Medrado and her teammates swept the gold medals in the group all-around and both apparatus finals. She competed at the 2018 Pan American Championships where the Brazilian group won the gold medal in 5 balls and the bronze medals in the group all-around and 3 balls + 2 ropes.[4] She was unable to compete at the 2018 World Championships due to a foot injury.[5]

Medrado and the Brazilian group swept the gold medals at the 2019 South American Championships. She then competed at the 2019 Pan American Games where she won a gold medal in the 3 hoops + 2 clubs event and bronze medals in the group all-around and 5 balls event.[6] [7] [8] Then at the 2019 World Championships in Baku, the Brazilian group placed thirteenth in the all-around.[9]

In 2020, Medrado had surgery on both feet because her second metatarsal bones were causing pain.[10]

Medrado competed at the 2021 Pan American Championships in Rio de Janeiro. The group won the gold medal in the group all-around and secured the continental quota place for the 2020 Olympic Games. The group additionally won the gold medals in both the 5 balls and the 3 hoops + 4 clubs event finals.[11] She was then selected to compete for Brazil at the 2020 Summer Olympics in the group all-around alongside Beatriz Linhares, Maria Eduarda Arakaki, Nicole Pírcio, and Geovanna Santos.[12] They finished twelfth in the qualification round for the group all-around.[13] After the Olympic Games, she competed at the 2021 World Championships where the Brazilian group placed ninth in the all-around.[14]

Medrado competed with Maria Eduarda Arakaki, Nicole Pircio, Gabrielle da Silva, Giovanna Oliveira, and Bárbara Galvão at the 2022 Pan American Championships and successfully defended their group all-around title. They also won gold in the 5 hoops event finals, and they won the silver behind Mexico in the 3 ribbons + 2 balls final.[15] The same group then competed at the 2022 World Championships in Sofia where they finished fifth in the group all-around.[16] They also qualified for the 5 hoops final where they finished fourth.[17]

At the 2023 World Championships, Medrado competed as part of the group. She and her teammates finished high enough to win the Brazilian group a quota at the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics, the first time a group representing Brazil had done so.[18]

In August 2024, Medrado competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The Brazilian group finished in ninth place, just outside of reaching the finals, due to group member Victória Borges injuring herself minutes before their second qualifications routine.

Medrado announced her retirement on 27 November 2024 at the opening of the Brazilian national championships, where she performed an exhibition with her teammates.
