Brazilian athlete Fabiana Santos excels in everything she does. She practiced gynmnastics before becoming a hammer thrower. After showing excellent inital progress in bobsledding she decided to turn her attention to weight lifting and became the best in her weight class. She participated in the 2007 Pan American games in Rio de Janeiro.
Now Fabiana is happy to return to bobsledding and is committed to giving her best to the sport. She is currently training at the FIBT school in Lake Placid with Alcione Almeida, a triple jumper and double skiff rower turned bobsled push-athlete.
Santos and Almeida are sliding well at the school and want to qualify for the America's Cup race immediately following their training. Santos will continue to develop her piloting skills and hopes to become the first Brazilian woman to qualify a bobsled team for the Olympics.
Fabiana is also a baton twirler and she volunteers time teaching children to read. She is from Sao Paulo.
