Jade Barbosa was a huge factor in Brazil's powerhouse senior team. Her strength and experience helped put Brazil on the podium.

While international gymnastics meets brings together countries from all over the world, only one South American nation will be represented at the 2018 City of Jesolo Trophy. Brazil is sending a senior and junior team to compete in Italy, headlined by Olympians Jade Barbosa and Flavia Saraiva.

Historically, Team USA has dominated the City of Jesolo Trophy, capturing both individual event medals and winning the team competition. In fact, the U.S. seniors have won the team competition every year since they started participating in 2010. This year, the USA is not fielding a team, but are rather allowing individual clubs to compete. This leaves the team competition wide open for the top of the podium on both the senior and junior sides.
