The top-tier Brazilian artistic gymnast Rebeca Andrade, made a mark on the Santiago ground after a path-breaking victory at the World Championships. The 2022 all-around World Champion proved herself as the reigning ‘vault queen’, clinching her first Pan American Games gold. When it comes to vaults in gymnastics, there’s no stopping Rebeca. Last month, as the world’s most decorated Simone Biles attempted her signature YDP, Andrade ensured a title snatch. This time, at the Pan Am, Rebeca’s own unimaginable display left a slightly bitter taste in her mouth.

Rebeca Andrade has a vault opinion
One of the most popular ‘X’ users and gymnastic enthusiasts, Scott Bregman shared a post after the conclusion of Pan Am. Celebrating Andrade’s finesse and near-perfect Cheng vault execution, he quoted Rebeca, saying, “Andrade on her vault: “Looking at the video, I think I piked it a bit, maybe if I don’t pike it…. it’s hard for them to give me a 10, but it’s not impossible!“”
Even though she claimed, “I’m happy and proud of everything I presented today,”, she thought the judges could have scored her better. As one of the most difficult vaults requires the ultimate expertise to ace it. And Rebeca, the worthy rival of Simone, proved her excellence in the routine repeatedly. With an extra pike, a 9.733 didn’t quite do justice to her hard work
While Rebeca’s dissatisfaction stayed long after the game, another gymnast waved her victory flag. Anchoring her team to the deserved gold, Simone’s best friend and hype woman, Jordan Chiles, proved her mark in Pan Am. After several unsuccessful attempts this year, she did it this time
The reigning champion Jordan Chiles
The US women’s gymnastics team won a gold medal on Sunday after the team gold in the World Championships. It’s better to say that the American women gymnasts are writing fresh pages in the history book, under the direction of Jordan Chiles, who carried the American flag at the Pan American Games opening ceremony on Friday.
With a strong performance by Chiles, the U.S. won the women’s all-around competition with 165.196 points. Securing their sixth consecutive women’s team gold at the Pan American Games, the US team stood atop the podium. After the prolific displays, Chiles said, “It was really cool to be the flagbearer, then coming out here to win gold with an amazing team.”
