Sporting relatives:

Her husband Everton Luiz Ribeiro has represented Brazil in hammer throw at U23 level. Her mother Djanete Oliveira de Morais competed in discus throw at national level in Brazil. (globoesporte.globo.com, 17 Aug 2019; spikes.worldathletics.org, 03 Jul 2019; Facebook profile, 24 Nov 2015; cbat.org.br, 03 Sep 2008)

She sustained an herniated disc in her back in 2013. She did not want to undergo surgery so her husband Everton, who is a qualified chiropractor, treated the injury. She was out of action for more than a year, and returned to competition in 2015. (globoesporte.globo.com, 17 Aug 2019; hojeemdia.com.br, 14 Sep 2018)

She took up the sport at age 11. (spikes.worldathletics.org, 03 Jul 2019)

Her mother competed in athletics and encouraged her to get involved in the sport. Andressa also practised shot put and hammer throw at first, but in 2012 she decided to focus on discus throw. "About a year after I first took up the sport, I competed against my mother in a regional competition. She won that one, but it didn't take too long for me to get the best of her."

RIO EXPERIENCE
Although she enjoyed competing in front of a home crowd at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, she felt that her preparation was not correct ahead of the tournament and that she did not perform to her potential. "The experience was incredible, and the support from the crowd was amazing, but my performance was not. The year before I had thrown over 64m, but I got things wrong in the build-up to the Olympics. I prepared in Cuba, where my coach was based, and if anything, I worked too hard. I went to Rio feeling exhausted, and was knocked out in qualification. Seeing the next day that 65m was enough to win a medal made it all the harder to deal with. It hurt, but it was a very good lesson, one you only need to learn once."
