But I wonder if all of these players retiring will keep their word and stay out of the NT next year (Sheilla, Thaisa, Adenízia, Fabíola, Brait, Fabiana...). I really think it's unfair to stay out for like 3 years and then come back to the Olympics.
Brait said in her Instagram that she had a conversation with Zé and that now she is not ready to compete for the NT, but she also said that she’s happy that she has “open doors” to come back.
Thaísa just posted that she’s retiring from the NT today, but she stressed that this is not a final decision.
Tassia declined the invitation to join the NT allegedly due to family reasons.
My conclusion: We’ll see all these players back to the NT next year (especially Brait and Thaísa) if they get a call, but right now no one is willing to spend months away from their family. This is really demotivating for those who are competing for a spot, because they have spent the past 2 years playing for Brazil but next year I am sure all the top players will be back and girls like Amanda, Rosamaria, Mara, Milka, Lara, Natinha, etc, Will all be kicked out.
