Life

[edit | edit source]

Alexandre had her right arm amputated due to thrombosis from a poorly applied vaccine injection when she was six months old.[4][5]

In June 2021 she was one of the women selected to compose Brazil's Paralympic Table Tennis team for the 2020 Paralympic Games, which were delayed for a year due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The other athletes chosen to be part of the team were Cátia Oliveira (class 2), Dani Rauen (in class 9) and Joyce Oliveira (in class 4).[6]

She went on to compete in the 2024 Summer Olympics, becoming the first Brazilian athlete to contest both the Paralympic and Olympic Games.[5]
