Updates: Andrade will also not compete two vaults at the championships.
Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade will not be competing in all four events at the upcoming Pan American championships, which will be held between July 15–17 in her home country.
The 23 year old gymnast has opted not to compete on floor exercise in order to save her knee.
Andrade did not also compete on floor exercise at the last World championships, where she won gold and silver on vault and bars respectively, citing "saving herself for the 2024 Paris Olympics" as the reason behind such a decision.
The Tokyo Olympic vault champion and all around silver medalist tore her ACL three times in 2015, 2017, and 2019.
Flávia Saraiva, Julia Soares, Carolyne Pedro and Christal Bezerra will be representing Brazil beside Andrade at the Pan American championships.
