Which Brazilian won the Paris 2024 Olympic women’s floor exercise gold medal? Rebeca Andrade won Brazil’s gold medal in the women’s floor exercise at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

The final was held on August 5, 2024, at the Bercy Arena, officially known as the Accor Arena. Andrade scored 14.166 points, narrowly finishing ahead of the United States’ Simone Biles, who took silver. Romania’s Ana Bărbosu won bronze after a dramatic judging and inquiry sequence affected the final standings.

The result added another major achievement to Andrade’s Olympic career. She became one of Brazil’s most decorated gymnasts and a central figure in the country’s rise in women’s artistic gymnastics. Her medal also came in a final featuring several elite all-around and apparatus specialists, making the narrow victory particularly notable.

This question is sometimes confused with Andrade’s Olympic all-around result. She won silver behind Sunisa Lee in Tokyo in 2021, but her Paris 2024 floor title was a separate apparatus event. Simone Biles, the 2016 floor champion, was the runner-up in Paris rather than the winner.
