Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade didn't just win gold in the Olympic women's floor exercise yesterday. She won the admiration of her peers and rivals. As the 25-year-old took to the podium, silver medallist Simone Biles and bronze winner Jordan Chiles knelt on either side of her and bowed. “First, it was an all-Black podium, so that was super exciting for us,” Biles said. “But then Jordan was like, ‘Should we bow to her?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely.’ She is such an exciting gymnast to watch, and all the fans in the crowd cheering for her. It was just the right thing to do. She's a queen." Here's more from @time
