Rebeca Andrade made history this Thursday (1) by winning the silver medal in the individual all-around final at Paris 2024 , after a fierce competition with Simone Biles, who took gold. The two should still face each other on Saturday (3), starting at 11:20 am, in the vault final, and next Monday (5), starting at 7:38 am, in the beam and floor finals.


Last Tuesday (30), the gymnast took bronze alongside the Brazilian team in the team final. This is Rebeca Andrade's third Olympics. She made her debut at Rio 2016 and, at Tokyo 2020, she took gold in vault and silver in the individual all-around.


Close to breaking the record


With four Olympic medals under her belt, the gymnast is getting closer and closer to becoming Brazil's biggest Olympic medalist. Currently, the record holders are sailors Robert Scheidt and Torben Grael, each with five medals. Scheidt has two golds, two silvers and one bronze, while Torben has two golds, one silver and two bronzes.

How much can Rebeca Andrade win at Paris 2024?


In winning the team bronze, Rebeca Andrade received a prize of R$56,000 from the COB (Brazilian Olympic Committee), out of a total of R$280,000 for the Brazilian artistic gymnastics team. With silver in the individual all-around, she guarantees another R$210,000 from the committee.

With three more podium races ahead, the athlete can still increase the amount she will take home. According to the values ​​defined by the COB, in individual modalities, the gold medalist receives R$350,000, while the silver medalist receives R$210,000 and the bronze medalist receives R$140,000.

Brazil in Gymnastics

With this achievement, Brazil now has 8 Olympic medals in women's and men's sports. The first of these was achieved in 2012, when Arthur Zanetti took gold on the rings. In 2016, Zanetti returned to the podium to receive silver on the same device, while Diego Hypólito and Arthur Nory took silver and bronze, respectively, on floor exercise.
