Rebeca Andrade had an impressive campaign at the Paris Olympics. She won four medals—one gold, two silver, and one bronze. Her success was celebrated heavily in Brazil, as she had already become a celebrity there after winning two medals in Tokyo. Now, she’s the most decorated Brazilian Olympian ever, and that comes with some new horizons.

The public is very enthusiastic to know more about the athlete’s personal life. Thus, there were a lot of rumors going around about her relationship status recently. After it died down a bit, she decided to do something cheeky during a recent interview. In the interview, Rebeca Andrade decided to publicly provide the presenters with quite a difficult challenge. In fact, when they heard about it, they were in no mood to actually complete it.

Rebeca Andrade presents a cheeky challenge to TV presenters after interview

Recently, Rebeca Andrade gave an interview to the Brazilian channel Bom Dia Sao Paulo. She talked to them about her impressive Paris campaign. But it was after the interview that the gymnast issued a cheeky challenge to the presenters. After the questions concluded, she asked to forward a message to the show’s presenters, Rodrigo Bocardi and Sabina Simonato. She said, “Hi, Rodrigo. Hi, Sabina. I’m here to invite you to go to the gym and do a workout with me. I want to see what gymnastics you can do.” After the message was shown to them, the presenters jokingly hid their faces from the camera.

Finally, Bocardi asked Simonato, “Shall we go and embarrass ourselves?” She replied, saying that he should go. But the male reporter was insistent that both of them should accept the challenge and take a camera crew with them to film it. But, when it was found out that Rebeca Andrade trains in Flamengo instead of Sao Paulo, where their studio is located, they changed their tunes.

“I have to stay here, I have to follow the transportation in São Paulo. Simonato jokingly said, ‘You go there, we’ll call you, like an anchorage. You’re there doing your mischief, and I’ll stay here with the train, subway, bus.'” Finally, Bocardi concluded the topic, saying that the only exercise he takes part in is standing three hours for the show, and then sent his regards to Rebeca Andrade. It was a humorous moment for the audience to see. This comes after the gymnast’s personal life has been really under the scanner for the past few weeks post-Olympics.
