note
Luana Bartholo had only 40 days to
train with Fabiana Beltrame to reach the
qualifying score for the Olympic Games
London 2012. She began rowing at the
end of 2001. She was tested for the
basketball team at the Vasco club but
didn’t make it and was called by coach
Marcelo Neves for a new test, but for
rowing. In the competition for a place
next to Fabiana in the double sculls
Luana defeated the more experienced
Camila Carvalho. She had to lose ten
kilos to reach the weight limit for the
lightweight category. She is a Publicity
and Journalism graduate.
