Shortly ahead of this update, Andrade reunited with Biles at the Barcelona FC vs. Real Madrid soccer game, which took place at the La Cartuja stadium.

Rebeca Andrade opened up about her mother's impact on her gymnastics career
In a recent interview with the BBC, Rebeca Andrade was questioned surrounding the ins and outs of her relationship with her mother, Rosa Santos. The latter has been the biggest supporter of the gymnast, as she supported her by working odd jobs to help her pursue gymnastics. Santos backed Andrade's decision to leave the house at 10 for the sport and provided her with a good childhood.
In the interview, Andrade made her feelings known about her mother's impact on her career by calling her a positive person. Opening up about the support, she said:
"I think that I always had everything I needed to live well, which was love. The support of my family, the impetus my mum gave me to follow my dream too. It's just that my mom is a very positive person. She didn't see hardship as suffering, so we didn't see it that way either. If we were together, she always found a way to work things together. So for me, my childhood was incredible," said Rebeca Andrade.
She added:
"For a mom, having to hear comments like that about her children, couldn't have been easy at all. But I'm grateful she didn't cut off my wings. She was the person who gave me the most impetus to fly. For me to follow my dream with my own legs, my goals but always being there when I needed her."
Rebeca Andrade is expected to commence her 2025 gymnastics season at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia. The event is slated for October.
