Aline Rocha: We Must Evolve


Listen Later

 In this episode of Making It To Milan, co-host Ashley Cane speaks with Aline Rocha, a Brazilian Paralympian who competes in both the Winter and Summer Paralympic Games. Representing Brazil as a sitting skier in cross-country and biathlon, and as a wheelchair racer on the track, Aline is a soon-to-be five-time Paralympian. She reflects on beginning wheelchair racing in 2010 after being introduced to Paralympic sport by her husband and coach, Fernando, competing at Rio 2016, and becoming Brazil’s first woman to compete at a Winter Paralympic Games in 2018 after learning to ski in Sweden. Aline shares the realities of training for snow in a tropical country, balancing two elite disciplines, leaning on psychological preparation to manage pressure, and setting her focus on a long-awaited Paralympic medal in Milano Cortina.
