Reason: "I was doing some research in Portugal after my doctorate degree and one of the few options to practise a sport during winter was indoor archery. I liked it and did it for three months. Then, after I received my diagnosis and I was told that I would not be able to do anything else and had to retire from my job, I returned to archery. I discovered that it was a completely inclusive sport." (Paralimpicos Brasil Facebook page, 26 Nov 2023)
