So much emotion cannot be saved, and the Brazilian athlete gave an emotional interview to Globo. Rebeca Andrade had to overcome knee injuries, and after two surgeries, she overcame these complications to participate and just wanted to finish well and without new injuries. But what had been in store for her was much bigger than that.
“(The crying) was for finishing the entire competition. I prayed a lot to God, every day, before I even came here, asking for it to be a good competition, for me to enjoy it, for me to be able to return without getting injured, for nothing bad to happen. So the crying was because of that. She said, 'I don't believe it, but I believe it because it's what I asked God for'. I'm whole, I enjoyed it, I lived Paris, I experienced everything and ended with a flourish. I'm exploding”, says Rebeca, who also said:
“I'm very happy and proud of my performances. Even though there were a few mistakes on the beam, I held on tight. The fact after that only soil is missing. ‘No, now we just need soil, let’s go’. I did my best, both on the beam and on the floor and the gold came”, he adds.
Rebeca Andrade leaves her future open
The gymnast responded about this being his last solo performance. She had already warned about the complexity of continuing to perform due to knee injuries. But Rebeca responds by leaving the future open, implying that she can, yes, perform in Los Angeles again.

Coach Chico Porath talks about the achievement

“On two devices, last day of the Olympics. I said, let's enjoy this series, Rebeca. You haven't failed a day. Let's hold on. There was a lack of connection there on the beam. The referee gives the result, the end is like that, everything is close. The end of the bar was very tense. But everything worked out, God was saving something much bigger for the soil and we were very happy”,
Chico also says that he is even moved by Rebeca's training, as she had to overcome her injuries to to have such a great performance.
“It couldn’t be any different. It's very difficult to prepare her to do solo. I get emotional even when she trains. When she achieves a solo series in training it also excites me. Seeing that she did her best on the last day. Everyone was tired, solo for her is the most exhausting. We always try to recover it”, he concludes.
