Antonio Carlos Pereira [club], BRA

She began judo at age six in Porto Alegre, Brazil. (sogipa.com, 01 Dec 2010; cbj.com.br, 01 Aug 2019)

Her parents wanted her to take up an activity where she could channel her energy. She initially tried athletics and swimming but enjoyed judo the most. "At the time I was doing ballet. When my ballet classes finished, I ran to watch the judo class, because there was more action, more competition, and I always like to compete. My mother decided to change me from ballet to judo, because I would burn more energy." (judorio.org.br, 01 Oct 2007; cbj.com.br, 01 Aug 2019; olympicchannel.com, 01 Sep 2019)

To win a gold medal at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (jornalnh.com.br, 11 Aug 2019)

She trains jiu jitsu one day a week with coach Moacir Mendes Jr. in Canoas, Brazil. She says training jiu jitsu has helped her when a judo bout goes to the tatami [mat]. "I lost many bouts on the tatami. I've been training with Moacir and my performance has changed completely. I am not an expert but my defense improvement can be seen."

She was named Judoka of the Year by the Brazilian Olympic Committee [COB] in 2014. (rio2016.com, 16 Dec 2014)
