Brazil's showing at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics is being celebrated by a new exhibition installed in the eMuseum of Sport in partnership with the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB).

"Team Brazil in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020" records the achievements of the athletes who helped their country earn a record seven gold medals in Japan as attention turns towards the imminent Paris 2024 Olympics.

The virtual visit can be made through the www.emuseudoesporte.com.br portal.

The eMuseum of Sport was created after the Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics as a virtual hub to engage athletes, sports entities, museums and fans with the preservation of sports memories in a new and collaborative form.

"From now on, through this long-standing partnership with the COB, the Brazilian medallists of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be eternalised in the hearts of all," said Bianca Gama, manager of the eMuseum of Sport.

"We deliver an environment translated into English for dissemination at the international level, thus showing the world our achievements and the great examples given by our athletes."

The curatorship was carried out by the Department of Culture and Olympic Values, and the images are from the collection of the COB.

"The partnership with eMuseu do Esporte allows us to bring Olympic Culture to many spectators," said Carolina Araújo, COB's manager of Culture and Olympic Values.

"Reviewing the performance of our athletes at the Tokyo Games, in addition to being very exciting, makes us even more excited for the Paris 2024 Games.

"We hope to cause the same sensation in the public."

Those who visit the exhibition will be virtually welcomed by Rebeca Andrade, who became Brazil’s first artistic gymnastics Olympic medallist in taking vault gold and all-around individual silver at the Tokyo Games.

She was one of 21 Brazilian medal-winners in Japan, of whom nine were female.
