Almost three months after winning two medals at the Olympic Games, Rebeca Andrade made history again in the early hours of this Saturday (23). The red-and-black athlete rocked it again in Japan, this time in Kitakyushu, and became world champion on the vault. Next, our girl won the silver medal on the uneven bars. For the first time, a Brazilian achieved this feat in the competition. Thus, she repeats her feat from Tokyo.

Confident and calm, Rebeca scored 15.333 on the Cheng and 14.800 on the Yurchenko with a double pirouette. The combined score of these two spectacular scores gave her an average of 14.966 points. In this scenario, the gymnast, who put on a great performance with a wide smile on her face, won by a wide margin over her competitors. On the other event, she scored 14.633, which vaulted her straight into second place from the start.

The Olympic champion's gold medal in the competition (her first) is Brazil's second in the women's event and further solidifies her as one of the greatest of all time. After all, in 2021 alone, she topped the podium and achieved a double in the two major championships. It's worth noting that the athlete achieved a quadruple crown, having also won the Pan American Artistic Gymnastics Championships and the World Cup.

"I'm proud of myself and very happy. I train hard and always go in focused. Since the Olympics, you can see how I'm doing. The most important thing is to have drive, strength, and a lot of love for what you do. My mind is calm and my body is strong. Results are just a consequence of everything. We'll keep working because there's more tomorrow," said the medalist.

The artistic gymnastics teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo rely on resources from their sponsors – AmBev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR), in addition to support from the Brazilian Committee of Clubs (CBC) resulting from the decentralization of resources originating from the Pelé Law.
