A gold medal to remember! In her final act at the Paris Olympics, this Monday (5), the red-and-black Rebeca Andrade won the gold medal on the floor and became Brazil's greatest Olympic medalist of all time, at just 25 years old. Emotion took over the Bercy Arena, in the French capital, after the Brazilian concluded her performance brilliantly, with a beautiful solo and practically perfect pins at the end of each acrobatic move.

With an excellent score of 14.166, the red-and-black athlete waited a long time for the other gymnasts to finish the event. Anticipation gripped Rebeca and all the Brazilians. Until it was Simone Biles's turn. The American also delivered a great performance, but some flaws in her movement execution resulted in her taking silver. At that moment, Rebeca's realization sank: she won gold and, in the process, became the most decorated Brazilian Olympic medalist of all time in one of the most traditional sports.

After the event, Rebeca Andrade became emotional when talking about her second Olympic gold medal. Before the floor exercise, she finished fourth on the balance beam.

"(The crying) was because I finished the entire competition. I prayed that I would enjoy myself, return without injury, without anything bad happening. I don't believe it, but I believe it because that's what I asked God for. I finished with a flourish, I'm exploding," said the red-and-black.

It's worth noting that, before winning gold, Rebeca had already won three medals in Paris: two silver medals (individual all-around and vaulting) and a bronze medal in the team event. In total, the red-and-black team has won six medals in two Olympics, surpassing sailors Robert Scheidt and Torben Grael.
