She tore a ligament in her knee in February 2016. As the recovery period for this type of injury following surgery is six months, she elected to postpone the operation in order to represent Brazil at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. She competed at the Games using a special knee support, and underwent surgery once the event was over. (Instagram profile, 14 Mar 2017; gazetadopovo.com.br, 06 Aug 2016) |
