Olympic gold medallist Arthur Zanetti and former world champion Diego Hypolito were named in Brazil's 10-member gymnastics team for next month's Rio Olympics.
The women's team will include Hypolito's older sister and six-time Pan-American Games champion, Daniele Hypolito, the Brazilian Gymnastics Confederation (CBG) said in a statement on Friday, reports Xinhua.
It will be the first time Brazil have fielded complete teams in both the men's and women's categories at the Olympic Games.
