With a history of anterior cruciate ligament injuries, Andrade has suffered several setbacks in her career, forcing her to consider giving up gymnastics. The brilliant Brazilian had won a gold and silver medal at the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021, but she scarcely competed in 2024 and there was concern whether she would make it to Paris. However, her resilience and determination paid off and she won gold in the floor exercise, silver in the all-around and vault, and bronze in the team event. Having won a career total of six Olympic and nine World Championship medals, she is the most decorated Brazilian and Latin American gymnast of all.
