Origin
and identity

Sheilla Castro combined attacking force with placement and touch, becoming a trusted scorer in Brazil's two Olympic championship teams.

An under-20 world champion in 2001, Sheilla moved into the senior side the following year. Her attacking options made her valuable even when a rally denied the setter a perfect pass.

She scored nineteen points in the Beijing gold-medal match. Four years later, her resistance in a dramatic quarterfinal against Russia helped keep Brazil's title defence alive before another final victory over the United States.
