Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade and top Team USA opponent at the Paris Olympics shared a unique anecdote about one of the ways she prepares herself for competition. Andrade bested U.S. standout Simone Biles in the women's floor event, earning a score of 14.166 and the top podium position after claiming the silver medal in the women's all-around.
When asked this week what she does to pump herself up, Andrade shared that she tends to focus on food and television. “I was thinking about the recipes that I will make when I get back to Brazil," she said, according to NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”
