It was the Brazilian’s first gold at the biggest multi-sports event in the Americas, where she is considered among biggest stars competing. Looking effortless in execution, Andrade scored 15.333 in her first vault and 14.633 on the second. Her average of 14.983 beat silver medalist’s Jordan Chiles of the U.S. by 0.833.
Andrade lost her first battle with the U.S. team on Sunday, when Chiles finished as the winner in the all-round competition. The Brazilian chose to sit out the floor exercise to protect her knees, which have gone through difficult surgeries three times in her career.
