Rebeca Andrade came to the 2017 Worlds as a favorite for an all-around medal but tore her ACL during the podium training. She also had to miss the 2015 Worlds because of an ACL injury. Hopefully, this year will be luckier for her and she’ll finally be able to compete at Worlds in Doha.
Andrade was just allowed to come back to full training after recovering from her ACL tear. She said to Globo Esporte that she’s not in pain anymore and that her main goal this season is World Championships, so she’ll miss the Sout American Championships and Brazilian nationals this year.
