What would I say now?
Andrade🇧🇷 in 2021-2023 was such a dominant force it was evident the sport had a new powerhouse WAG who could rack up a high medal tally for as long as she wants
The prophecy came true because she’s won a whole bunch of medals since then
And what would you say now? Your tweet was 3 years ago. Since then, Andrade has won 4 more Olympic medals and one at the 2026 World Championships.
