    Rebeca Andrade is 25-years-old and 4-foot-9. She was born May 8, 1999, in Guarulhos, Brazil. She has seven siblings, three of them — Yago, Henrique and Igor — also trained as gymnasts during their child hood.

    The athlete was raised by a single mother, Rosa Santos, who worked as a maid. So, she began the sport at age 4, but with seven siblings and a single mother, her family didn’t have much money to help with her training. Her brothers often walked her to the gym when they couldn’t afford a bus pass — a trek that took over two hours. Rebeca’s mother also would sometimes walk to work, loaning Rebeca her bus pass to get to the gym more easily. However, at age 9, she moved away from her family to a high-performance training center in Curitiba. A year later, she moved to Rio de Janeiro.

    Rebeca Andrade is one of 11 women gymnasts to medal in every event at the World Championships, and one of three in the 21st century. With her silver medal in the all-around competition at the 2023 World Championships, she joined Simone Biles (gold) and Shilese Jones (bronze) in making up the first-ever all Black all-around podium at a world championship.

    With a silver medal in the all-around at the Tokyo Olympics, Rebeca Andrade became the first Olym pic medalist for Brazil in women’s gymnastics. Three days later, she won the first Olympic gold medal for Brazil in women’s gymnastics when she finished first in the vault event final.
