Decision time

The professional final was marked by great balance. Japan’s Sari Ohhara reached the highest score in the clash with Neymara Carvalho.

“It’s too much emotion. This is the most important championship of my life. After Luna was born, I said that the world title I won was the most important for everything that involved that moment. And now competing and running the event, thinking about various things. It’s very difficult, but it’s so satisfying that I have no words. I would like to thank once again all the girls who came”, said Neymara Carvalho.
