Alexandra García, a student from the University of Porto's Nursing School (ESEP), won the bronze medal in the all-around competition at the 39th Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships held in Nanjing, China.

The athlete competed in the women's double mini-trampoline event, where Portugal finished in 12th place. In the overall team standings, the Portuguese team secured eighth place.
The national team accumulated points in the remaining disciplines, securing third place in the final with 56,000 points, behind Russia (gold with 64,000) and China (silver with 59,000).
This achievement comes less than a year after García's debut representing U.Porto at the National University Trampoline Gymnastics Championships, where she won a bronze medal in individual double mini-trampoline and a gold medal in team trampolining.
Portugal's participation in the world championships also saw Vasco Peso win gold in tumbling and the national team secure silver in the double mini-trampoline team event.
