两枚奥运沙滩排球奖牌获得者 Double Medalist in Beach Voolleybal

Originally a figure skater, Adriana Behar switched to indoor volleyball when she was 16 years old and played professionally in Italy before turning to beach volleyball. In 1995 she teamed with Shelda Bede and the two soon became the leading pair in the world. They would subsequently win world championships in 1999 and 2001 and number one rankings in 2000, 2001 and 2004. They qualified for the Olympics in 2000 and made it to the final by winning four matches. They settled for silver medals when they lost in the final to local Australians Natalie Cook and Kerri Pottharst.
    Four years later, at the 2004 Athens Games, Adriana Behar and Shelda defeated fellow Brazilians Sandra Pires and Ana Paula in the quarterfinals and Natalie Cook and her new partner Nicole Sanderson in the semifinals, before falling 17-21, 11-21 to Americans Kerri Walsh and Misty May in the final. The pair Behar/Shelda is the first one to earn more than one medal at the Olympics.
    阿德里亚娜•比哈尔的运动生涯是以从花样滑冰开始的,直到16岁的时候,她才开始转向室内排球的训练,并随后加入了意大利的职业排球联赛。1995年,她开始搭档谢尔达•贝德开始沙滩排球训练。很快,她们就成为世界头号女子沙滩排球组合。并且在1999年和2001年两次夺取世界冠军,同时在2000年,2001年和2004年三次排名世界第一。2000年澳大利亚悉尼夏季奥运会沙滩排球比赛中,她们连赢四场比赛,闯入决赛,但最终不敌东道主选手库克和波特哈斯特组合,遗憾的拿到银牌。
   四年后的希腊雅典夏季奥运会上,她们连胜六场挺进决赛,但在决赛中,仍以17-21和11-21落败。尽管两次都没能夺取金牌,但谢尔达和阿德里亚娜仍然是第一对在两届奥运会上都能获得奖牌的沙滩排球组合。
