note
In London 2012, Maurren will try
to become the first Brazilian
woman two times Olympic
champion. She chose not to
participate in the World Indoor
Championship in Turkey, last
March, to intensify her training for
the Olympic Games. Before joining
athletics, she tried artistic
gymnastics (practiced for 10 years),
volleyball, swimming and
basketball. Her free time is mostly
dedicated to her daughter Sophia,
but she also enjoys listening to
music and cooking for friends.
