The group won silver behind Brazil in the all-around and both event finals.[4]

In 2022, Adirem and the group participated in the World Cup in Portimão, where they were 4th in the all-around and won two historical medals, the first on the World Cup circuit for Mexico: bronze with 5 hoops and gold with 3 ribbons and 2 balls.[5][6] A week later, at the next World Cup in Pesaro, they took 7th place in the all-around and 5th in both event finals.[7]

In 2026, Adirem was one of four gymnasts on the national team to lodge a complaint against their coach, Blajaith Aguilar, alleging physical and psychological abuse dating back to 2017, such as being forced to train long hours without a chance to eat. They alleged that reporting the abuse led to them being removed from the national team. CONADE provided the gymnasts with a training location and support.[13] Aguilar denied the allegations.[14]
