Origin
and identity

Fabiana Claudino helped anchor the middle of Brazil's Olympic championship teams, giving its block and quick attack an experienced centre.

Selected for Beijing 2008, Claudino belonged to the team that secured Brazil's first women's Olympic volleyball gold. The middle-blocker role demanded fast reading and a willingness to close space for teammates.

London brought another title in 2012. She later returned to the national-team lineup for the 2019 World Cup, extending a career already associated with Brazil's most celebrated Olympic generation.
