Career

Titoneli started fighting competitively in 2012, and two years later was in the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.[1] She won a bronze medal in welterweight at the 2019 World Taekwondo Championships, after being defeated by Nur Tatar in the semifinal. She won a gold medal at the 2021 Pan American Taekwondo Championships.[2]

Through the Pan American qualifier, Titoneli earned a spot to represent Brazil at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[3] Titoneli won her first match against Julyana Al-Sadeq, and then lost the quarterfinals to eventual gold medalist Matea Jelić. Jelić's semifinal win sent Titoneli to the repechage, where after beating Lauren Lee, she reached the bronze dispute against Ivorian fighter Ruth Gbagbi, bronze medalist at the Rio 2016 Games. In spite of a balanced fight for most of the match, Titoneli lost and finished in 4th place.[4]
