She could have been both a swimmer and an influencer if she wanted. Rebeca Andrade is now an influencer and fashion icon in Brazil, she now has a fortune of more than 1 million dollars, and still she keeps training and has plans to compete at the World Championships this year and in Paris 2024. konig, Monzanator and phelps 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a moment I thought that the gazillion events in swimming made me completely forget this guy after last year's Olympics and that's why I'd never heard of him, but he wasn't at the Olympics, so that explains that If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
