Martin Ferrari [national], ARG

She competed in both Para cycling road and Para cycling track at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. She has also represented Argentina in able-bodied road and track cycling. She was ranked 22nd in the road race at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, ON, Canada. (SportsDeskOnline, 10 May 2017; dxtv.gob.ar, 10 Aug 2015; uci.ch, 14 Apr 2014)

2013 for Argentina (deportes.terra.com.ar, 06 Apr 2014)

She began cycling competitively at age 21 through the Asociacion Misionera de Ciclismo in Posadas, Argentina. She took up Para cycling in 2013. (parati.com.ar, 02 Jan 2016; a24.com, 09 Oct 2019)

She first tried gymnastics, volleyball and swimming, but due to her impairment she struggled to progress in those sports. She originally took up cycling so that she could travel around her hometown of Posadas, Argentina. "I went to a bike shop and the owner was the president of the regional able-bodied cycling federation. He suggested I try cycling at the velodrome, and there I was told I could do well. I began winning titles at national level and entered the able-bodied national team. Then national Para cycling coach Martin Ferrari told me that in Para cycling I could compete against people in a similar situation to me, and that I would be able to progress further than in able-bodied cycling."
