Career
editIn 2019, after a course in STAPS, Marano decided to focus on her studies as a physiotherapist and discovered the role of para-athlete guide. She met Annouck Curzillat in the same year and they began working together. In 2021, Curzillat participated in the delayed 2020 Summer Paralympics in Tokyo and won a bronze medal.[1] Marano, who was also finishing her studies, was the latter's replacement guide.
In 2022, the duo reformed with the ambition of shining at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.[2][3] With more than 20 hours of weekly training that she does at home in Echirolles near Grenoble, internships with Curzillat who trains in Lyon and competitions all over the world, Marano is now fully dedicated to this goal.[2]
Personal life
editIn December 2022, Marano joined the National Police as an "operational reservist".[4]
