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.

“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.

Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid, MVP of the 2022/23 NBA season, once again demonstrated his affection for Flamengo . Last Thursday (21), the Cameroonian player was spotted in an official club store, in Cabo Frio (RJ) , where he made a point of purchasing several red-black products.

This time, he took the opportunity to explore the "Nação Rubro-Negra" store and expand his Flamengo memorabilia collection.
The star's arrival took everyone by surprise and caused great excitement among the employees. Salesman Kauan said he was so nervous when he met the player that he forgot to remove the alarm from a piece of furniture, creating an unusual moment: " His father-in-law even joked with me afterward. It was an unforgettable experience ," he revealed.
Embiid didn't hold back. He brought jerseys for himself, his wife, his father-in-law, and his son , as well as accessories like shorts and thermoses. The visit even helped meet the store's sales goals. The center also obliged some fans and store owners by agreeing to take photos with them.
Embiid's connection with Flamengo isn't new. In 2023, during an interview with the NBA Freestyle program, he revealed that he started supporting Flamengo because of his wife's family: " Actually, I'm a Flamengo fan because my girlfriend's father is a fan . Since we started dating, I've been following the team," he said.
In January 2024, when Flamengo held a preseason training camp in Philadelphia, Embiid met Léo Pereira and Matheus Gonçalves . The defender even posted a photo with the star: " Nice to meet you, brother ." Thus, the relationship between Joel Embiid and Flamengo continues to grow, uniting basketball and soccer in a connection that already transcends borders.
