For the last couple of months, rumors had been circulating that Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade was working on upgrading her vaults for the upcoming Paris Games. In a recent video shared by the Brazilian Olympic Committee, it has been confirmed the 2-time World Vault Champion is training a Triple Twisting Yurchenko, which is not yet featured in the Code of Points.

Andrade is taller and that makes jumping more difficult. It's nice to see the mutual respect between her and Biles. Pure art!

Rebeca Andrade is simply a PHENOMENAL vaulter! She flies high from the amazing block she gets, and her form is always on point. Like all other vaults however, it likely won't be given the difficulty score it deserves, which is unfortunate, but she'll still have an incredibly difficult skill named after her if completed at the Games, and nothing can take that from her once accomplished!

Her twisting form is so good, that I believe she could definitely do it. Ultimately it’s up to her if she feels like it will be ready and not too dangerous. This vault is huge and should definitely be worth more than 5.8. I hate that FIG undervalued twisting skills.

She 100% has the blocking ability to have enough time to do the 3 rotations, but it’s still extremely difficult.

I don't much about gymnastics, other than a casually watching for years, but to me this young lady's performances are stunning. She seems to have the perfect combination of skill, talent and grace. She is a lovely addition to her sport.

[seant]

I can't believe how many skills are being pushed! Simone Biles has truly propelled the sport forward, and Andrade is clearly making her mark even deeper. I can't WAIT for Paris 2024!!

The Rebeca pronunciation was great btw!

[CamillaKali]

I love how you learned to say her name with a brazilian accent ⭐

[IanWagner]

Comming here because yt recommended this after she won gold. I'm so proud of being brasilian ❤ she's beyond impressive

[leonardoneto]

Estou positivamente surpreso por respeitarem a pronúncia do nome dela, obrigado!

[sleepy]

Every video shown of her performing this vault, she's still twisting when she hits the ground. That's SO DANGEROUS.

[vacafuega]

I can barely walk around my kitchen without crashing into the fridge - that's some very impressive air sense!

[alquilitaryan]

Unfortunately she did not perform this skill in Paris! But congrats for bringing home Silver Medal 🎉🎉🎉

[dishragchang]

I'm so excited and I hope she can perform it healthily. I feel bad that the video was released earlier than she wanted, but it will give so much excitement to see if she'll do it in the games.

[SweetSirenia]

I love Rebe so much and I want to hear her name live on, but more importantly I want her knee fully recovered! I hope that Francisco and the national team aren't putting any pressure on her to do it now if Jakarta is a safer idea... 😢

[djstonedage]

100% DESERVED THE GOLD MEDAL!!! Too bad the USA has stolen the bronze medal from the romanian athlete....

[suajerthepiggo]

She pulls this off at Paris and she'll become a legend. And one of the best vaulters of all time if she wasn't already. 🔥

[indakgalak]

I’m rooting for the LEE, CAREY, and ANDRADE!!! I’m hoping for more new eponymous skills during the Paris 2024 Olympics…🙏🏼

Hong honestly looked pretty good in that training clip.. but also at the vault finals even if she didn't fall, the skill wouldnt have been named after her bc she was only credited for an Amanar, so she could've landed on her feet anyways but she didn't complete the 3 rotations before touching the mat

[hannibaljustincase]

the only issue with her TTY attempts is she doesn't rotate fast enough to complete all 3 rotations. her chest is open for too long and it slows her down significantly.
