Ethiene Cristina Gonser Franco (born 27 April 1992)[2] is a Brazilian former artistic gymnast who competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2012 Summer Olympics. She won four medals at the 2006 South American Games and won a team bronze medal at the 2010 Pan American Championships.
Gymnastics career
[edit]Franco competed alongside Jade Barbosa, Khiuani Dias, and Ana Cláudia Silva at the 2006 Junior Pan American Championships, and they won the silver medal behind the United States.[3] She then helped Brazil win the team title at the 2006 South American Games. Individually, she won silver medals in the all-around, on the balance beam, and on the floor exercise, all behind Barbosa.[4] At the 2007 Junior Pan American Championships, she won bronze medals in the team event and on the uneven bars.[5][6]
Franco was initially the alternate for Brazil's team at the 2008 Summer Olympics. However, she was added to the team after Khiuani Dias was injured.[1][7] At 16 years old, she was Brazil's youngest athlete at these Olympics.[1] The team advanced to the team final, where Franco competed on the balance beam to help the team finish eighth.[8]
Franco won bronze medals on the uneven bars at the 2009 Cottbus and Maribor World Cups.[9][10] Later at the Moscow World Cup, she won bronze medals on both the balance beam and the floor exercise.[11] She finished sixth on the uneven bars at the Osijek World Cup.[12] At the 2009 World Championships, she finished 35th in the all-around qualification round.[13]
Franco helped Brazil win the team bronze medal at the 2010 Pan American Championships, behind the United States and Canada.[14] She won a team gold medal at the 2010 South American Games.[15] At the 2010 World Championships, she helped the Brazilian team finish tenth in the qualifications, two spots away from the team final.[16][17] She also competed with the Brazilian team that won a team gold medal at the 2011 South American Championships.[18][19]
Franco was once again initially an alternate for the Olympic team in 2012, but was called up to compete when Laís Souza injured her hand.[20][21] She competed in the all-around for Brazil, but the team finished 12th and did not advance into any finals.[22][23] She retired from competition after these Olympic Games.[24]
