"When I was only three years old, I went to school with my mum and I saw the people training in a gym. All of them wearing a dobok [taekwondo uniform]. It was awesome. I began and I never quit. I have practised taekwondo since 2004, and the love for this sport grew on me. I do not remember myself before Taekwondo. This sport gave me all the best things in life. I do not imagine myself without it and I want to practice as long as I can. I will not give up." (agenciabrasil.ebc.org.br, 18 Jan 2021; olimpiadatododia.com.br, 10 Jun 2020)
