Holding a dual citizenship between Brazil and the United States, Freitas currently resides in Rio de Janeiro where she sails and trains for the Rio de Janeiro Yacht Club ((ポルトガル語:Iate Clube do Rio de Janeiro)) under her personal coach and mentor Lucas Souza.〔 As of September 2013, Freitas is ranked as one of the top ten sailors in the world for the sailboard class by the International Sailing Federation, following her successes at the South American and World Championships in her home nation. Freitas made her official debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she placed eighteenth in the newly introduced RS:X class with a net score of 135 points. At the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Freitas dominated the races with a remarkable grade of 12 to claim the gold medal in the women's sailboard class, edging out the host nation's Demita Vega by a 16-point gap. The following year, Freitas competed for her second Brazilian team in the RS:X class at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London by receiving a berth from the ISAF Sailing World Championships in Perth, Western Australia. Struggling to attain a higher position during the early stages, Freitas managed to pull off a second and an eighth place finish in the final legs, but missed a chance to succeed for the medal race with a fourteenth-place effort and a net score of 110 points.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.london2012.com/sailing/event/rs-x-women/phase=saw102910/doc=summary.html )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patrícia Freitas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
