Rebeca Andrade's Gold-Medal-Winning Vaults at the Tokyo Olympics

Rebeca Andrade's vault gold medal at this summer's Olympics made her the first Brazilian woman to win artistic gymnastics gold at an Olympic Games (the US's MyKayla Skinner, who filled in for Biles, claimed silver). Earlier in the Games, Andrade became Brazil's first Olympic medalist in women's artistic gymnastics when she won silver in the all-around competition.

Andrade's Cheng vault was a little off-balance, and she stumbled out of her second vault, a Yurchenko two-and-a-half, but she still managed to come out on top, making Olympic history a second time for her country.
