Volley Club Cesena [Italy] since 2016

Amauri Ribeiro [national]

She began playing sitting volleyball in 2016. (gazzetta.it, 07 Feb 2018)

"I went to a prosthesis centre in Bologna. And there I met people from the Italian Paralympic Committee who asked me if I had played sports before the amputation and if I wanted to play sports in the future. As a young girl I always played volleyball, and being able to go back to it was fantastic. Sitting volleyball is a relief valve for me. When I play I'm fine." (aism.it, 22 Jan 2020; gazzetta.it, 07 Feb 2018)

To compete at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. (Instagram profile, 01 Jan 2021)

In 2012 she was diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma in her thigh, which resulted in amputation four years later. "In February 2012, immediately after giving birth to my daughter, I started having pain in my thigh. A few months later I was diagnosed with cancer. I underwent several operations, and I also did radiotherapy and chemotherapy cycles. For four years they tried to save my limb but in September 2016 there was no alternative but to amputate."
