“rubber stretches” of Olympic gymnastics champion Rebecca Andrade in the video.

He is one of the prominent figures of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which ended on August 11. This is Rebecca Andrade. Like current seven-time Olympic champion Simone Biles, the Brazilian made artistic gymnastics shine during the competition, much to the delight of fans of the discipline.

Less than two weeks after the event’s closing ceremony, Rebecca Andrade was back in training with her first Olympic gold medal around her neck. As evidenced by this video published by the gymnast on her Instagram microblog a few days ago, in which she shows impressive flexibility. Indeed, we see the 25-year-old young woman, all smiles, performing various flexibility exercises beyond the reach of mere mortals.

“Do you have rubber bands instead of bones?”

Sitting in a split-face position, he stretches his body and arms forward with disturbing ease until he rests his head on the ground. The position seemed extremely comfortable for the champion, with Francisco Porat Neto, coach of Brazil’s artistic gymnastics team, sitting on her bum before holding her ankles to stretch her legs further.

Unsurprisingly, this sequence has fascinated and entertained netizens. “Do you have rubber bands instead of bones?” asked one of them, while the other jokingly assured that “just looking at it twisted his spine.” Finally, a third called Rebecca Andrade’s skills “inhuman.”
