“I am very happy to compete again and this is very important to us. I managed to overcome my challenges, I was fighting with myself to make the new exit. It was very good to feel my body in every movement,” said Rebeca, who gained prominence by using an outlet with a double pirouette.

In the crossbar dispute, Flávia Saraiva scored 13,450 and won the bronze medal, while the highest place on the podium went to the French gymnast Marine Boyer with a score of 13,500.
