Rebeca Andrade opened up about taking a break from gymnastics after a long time. She highlighted that she always prioritized gymnastics over rest.

"I'm resting. It's been very important to me," Andrade said. "It was something I've wanted for a long time, but understanding my priorities, I ended up putting it (rest) off. But today, it's been wonderful."

Further, she also announced her decision to stop competing in the floor event, stating it takes a toll on her body and she aspires to compete with her best self rather than just showing up.

"If you ask me today, it's something that's 100 per cent resolved," she said. "I don't want to do it. I go through this every day — I go through pain, tiredness; I know the effort I need to give to have a good performance. I don't want to show up and just do anything; I want to show up to do the best of my ability." (via olympics.com)
