Brasil de Fato<\/p>\n

On Monday (5), gymnast Rebeca Andrade won gold in the floor final in Paris and became the biggest Olympic medalist in Brazil’s history at the Bercy Arena.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In total, a 25-year-old athlete has won six medals. In Tokyo 2020, Andrade won gold in the vault and silver in the individual all-around. In Paris, she won silver in the vault, silver in the individual all-around, and bronze in the women’s team competition. With today’s performance, she closed in on six medals, leaving behind Robert Scheidt and Torben Grael, both from sailing.<\/p>\n

In her final performance, the gymnast from Guarulhos, S\u00e3o Paulo, beat Simone Biles from the United States with a score of 14.166. Biles, considered one of the greatest gymnasts in the world today, left the floor twice and won the silver medal with a score of 14.133.<\/p>\n

Brazil’s fifth silver medal came 15,000 kilometers from Paris, in the village of Teahupo’o in Tahiti, a French territory in Polynesia. It was in this colonial paradise in the middle of the Pacific that Tatiana Weston-Webb came second in the Olympic surfing tournament on Monday (5). In a contest that started with practically no waves and only heated up towards the end, she lost to Caroline Marks by a score of 10.50 to 10.33. The medal was Brazil’s 13th in Paris, the 9th won exclusively by women.

\nTatiana Weston-Webb was born in Porto Alegre but grew up in Hawaii, USA, in a family of surfers: She is the daughter of former Brazilian bodyboarder Tanira Guimar\u00e3es and English surfer Doug Weston-Webb. She even competed for the USA, but with surfing included in the Olympic program for Tokyo 2020, she opted to compete for medals for Brazil.<\/p>\n

Just before that, Gabriel Medina beat Peru’s Alonso Correa to win the bronze medal in surfing. The score was 15.54 to 12.43. It was the first Olympic medal for the three-time world surfing champion (2014, 2018 and 2021). The Brazilian lost his semi-final heat against Australian Jack Robinson in a sea with almost no waves.<\/p>\n
