Career
editShe began sport training at the age of 4 and qualified for the Olympics at the age of 15.[3]
Satila participated in 4 Olympic Games. At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Sátila was the youngest female competitor in canoe slalom.[4] She competed in the K1 event, finishing 16th in the heats, failing to qualify for the semifinals.[5] She finished in 17th place in the K1 event at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[6]
She qualified to represent Brazil at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo[7] in both women's events. She finished 13th in the K1 event after being eliminated in the semifinal.
As number 3 in the world ranking, Ana Sátila became the first Brazilian woman to reach an Olympic final in canoe slalom. At the 2020 Tokyo Games, she finished in tenth and last place in the final of the C1 event, after getting a time of 164.71 on her run. She first incurred a 2 second penalty at gate 7, and then missed gate 22, which meant another 50 seconds of penalties. Her time would have been enough for 4th place without the 50 second penalty.[8]
Sátila reached the finals for both individual canoe slalom events in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, getting close to medaling in both, with a fourth place in the K-1 and fifth in the C-1.[9] In the kayak cross, Sátila reached the semifinal, being surpassed by Angèle Hug after a collision in the last gate to end out of the qualifying zone, eventually finishing eighth overall following the B final.[10]
Sátila won three medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with a gold (Kayak cross: 2018), a silver (Kayak cross: 2017) and a bronze (C1: 2017). At the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships in London she finished 9th in the C1 event and 13th in the K1 event, after being eliminated in the semifinal.[11]
In 2015, Sátila won two medals at the Pan American Games held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She won gold in the C1 event and silver in the K1 event.[12]
