Rebeca Andrade is gold
This Monday morning, Brazilians watched, full of emotion, Rebeca Andrade's long-awaited gold medal at the 2024 Olympics. At the Bercy Arena, in Paris, the gymnast became the country's greatest Olympic medalist of all time. .
Less than an hour before, Rebeca had been left off the podium in the beam final. But the gymnast managed to perform on the stage and performed the solo that gave her a score of 14.166 and gold, ending her participation in the Olympics in a very emotional way not only for her, but also for the thousands of Brazilians who accompanied her.
With six medals won in two Olympic Games, Rebeca Andrade surpassed sailors Robert Scheidt and Torben Gael, who have five podiums. In addition to the gold, the gymnast says goodbye to France with two silvers in the vault and in the individual all-around, and a bronze medal in the team competition.
