Organizational Insights
The Brazil Open 2026 met its primary goals: grow the community, push performance levels, and deliver a competitive and smooth event. On all three fronts, the organizers delivered.
The main challenge on the day was an internet outage during the livestream, but it was quickly resolved, keeping the broadcast alive without significant interruption. Staff numbers on site were stretched thin, but thorough advance planning allowed the team to manage the workload effectively.
One notable upgrade from previous editions was the warm-up area: three fully equipped warm-up stations were available for athletes, a meaningful improvement in athlete experience and preparation quality.
For the next edition, the team has already identified the key priorities: more on-site helpers, a larger venue to match a growing audience, and additional competition plates in the warm-up zone. The feedback from athletes regarding organization and equipment was overwhelmingly positive. The main point raised was simply that the space needs to grow to match the event’s ambition.

Feedback across the board was positive, with equipment quality receiving particular praise. Brazil’s Streetlifting scene is growing and the calendar already reflects that momentum.
The next major milestone on the horizon is AMERICS 2026, scheduled for November in Belo Horizonte, which will bring a wider international field and an even higher competitive level.

The Brazil Open 2026 was a well-run, performance-driven event that showed exactly where Brazilian Streetlifting stands, and where it’s heading. International athletes raised the bar, local athletes answered the challenge, and the community left São Paulo with a clear sense of what’s possible.
