When Brazilian Fernando had a car<br />

accident and lost the use of his legs<br />

he turned to paddling.<br />

He then went on to win the sprint in<br />

the paracanoe in 2010.<br />

Next August Fernado embarks<br />

on a different challenge when he<br />

will paddle 800 kilometre on the<br />

Rio Xingu. This journey will be led<br />

by his coach Diana Nisimura who<br />

introduced Fernando to paddling<br />
