Brazil did well to get one of their gymnasts into the Women's All Around competition. Rebeca Andrade (Brazil) was naturally a crowd favorite. Her floor exercise was spot on, rivaling those of most of the medal winners, but not her scores. The patriotic crowd loudly boo-ed the score as it played across the stadium. It must have rattle the next gymnast waiting to start her routine. Her dance elements reminded me of the great Josephine Baker (although she was never a gymnast).
