What makes Beach Volleyball your favourite sport?

Beach volleyball is my favorite sport because it just works perfect for me. I really love playing, especially to feel the adrenalin while being on the court facing a rival. To see how many people have come to support me. To see so many fans coming to the games amazes me and enhances the adrenalin rush.

On court I'm known for…

Being brave, strict, determined and a perfectionist. Setting the ball and my defense are also strengths of mine.

My favourite beach is…

Cancun, Jericoacoara and Canoa Quebrada

My team mate calls me…

Larissa

I am a FIVB Hero because…

Because I never give up and I always try to do my best whatever I'm doing! I really love the feeling to be a hero. It's inspiring! Fans want my autograph and they sometimes say: "One day , I just i wanna be like you."
