Bruna Alexandre will join a select group of athletes when she heads to Paris this summer. The 29-year-old will become the first Brazilian to take part in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The table tennis player has already achieved extensive success at the Paralympics, where she is a four-time medallist, winning two bronze and two silver medals.
Brazilian table tennis player Bruna Alexandre will make history by becoming the first athlete from her country to compete at both the Olympics and Paralympics.
The 29-year-old follows in the footsteps of table tennis players Natalya Partyka of Poland, Australia’s Melissa Tapper and Croatia’s Sandra Paovic in achieving the feat, while South African pair Oscar Pistorius and Natalie du Toit did so in athletics and swimming, respectively.
