On the national level, she is a six-time (2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2025, 2026) Brazilian all-around champion.

Career

[edit]

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

2016-2017

[edit]

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

At the 2017 Pan American Championships in Daytona Beach, US, she won the bronze medal in the team competition with Natália Gaudio, Mariany Miyamoto and Karine Walter. On 2–4 June, she competed at the World Challenge Cup Guadalajara and took 24th place in the all-around.

2018

[edit]

She started the season competing at World Challenge Cup Guadalajara and took 30th place in the all-around. Next, she competed at World Challenge Cup Portimao, where she ended in 26th place in the all-around. She was most successful with ribbon (14th place). She won gold with ball and silver in the all-around and hoop and ribbon finals at the 2018 South American Games in Cochabamba.

In September, she made her World Championships debut alongside Natalia Gaudio at the 2018 World Championships. She finished 54th place in the all-around qualifications.[5][6] Later in the month, she competed at the 2018 Pan American Championships in Lima, Peru, where she was 6th in the all-around and won bronze medals in team and ribbon. The next month, at the South American Championships in Melgar, she won gold medals in team, all-around, hoop, clubs and ribbon, and silver medal in ball.

2019

[edit]

In April, she competed at the World Cup Pesaro and took 47th place in the all-around. Then she competed at the World Cup Sofia, where she was 33rd in the all-around. She also attended World Cup Baku, where she was 39th in the all-around. At the end of May, she represented Brazil at the 2019 South American Championships in Bogotá, Colombia. She won a gold medal in ribbon, silver in all-around and clubs, and bronze in hoop and ball. In July, she competed at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, and won the silver medal in the ribbon final behind Evita Griskenas.[7] On 6–8 September, she competed at the World Challenge Cup Portimão and took 16th place in the all-around.

At the 2019 World Championships in September, 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.[8]

[edit]

Domingos started her competition season at the World Cup Sofia, where she took 38th place in the all-around. She was 34th in all-around at the World Cup Tashkent and 31st at the World Cup Baku. In June, she became the 2021 Pan American Championships all-around silver medalist. She also won gold in team, ball and clubs and silver in hoop. This result meant that she fell short of winning a spot to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics, which went to gold medalist Rut Castillo from Mexico.

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.[9]

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.[9] Domingos said of the achievement, "What I feel today is a sense of fulfillment. That says it all."[12] 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.[9]

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.[13] 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.[14]

2024

[edit]

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.[15] At the World Cup in Sofia, she finished in 17th place and did not qualify for any finals.[16]

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.[17] 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.[18] After that, she competed at the World Challenge Cup in Cluj-Napoca and won a bronze medal in the ribbon final.

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.[19] She was the only gymnast from the Americas in the final.[20] 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.[21] She said that despite the mistakes, she was proud to be one of the top ten gymnasts.[20]
