This Sao Paulo born superwoman has done it all. Gymnastics, circus school, Kung Fu national team. And then the one random video online introduced her to pole. And the world of pole sports has never been the same. Within four months of her first class, she was competing nationally. Fast forward, she's a five time World Sport World Champion, POSA 2016, 17, and 19, IPSF World Champion, 2018 POSA doubles champion and the 2019 Olympia Pole Champion. Oh, and she broke the world record for highest score in two different federations in the same year. Because why just win, when you could rewrite history. And if all that wasn't enough, she's also a proud mom of two and a world class coach and trainer, inspiring the next generation of pole athletes to reach their own greatness. Please welcome the one, the only Rafaela Montanaro.
