Cátia Cristina da Silva Oliveira (born 12 June 1991) is a Brazilian Para table tennis player and former footballer. Cátia won a gold medal at the 2015 Parapan American Games and was selected for the 2016 Paralympic Games in her home country.[1] Cátia began playing table tennis in 2013 and developed quickly, winning a place on Brazil's national team in time for the 2015 Parapan American Games. In October 2018 she won a silver medal at the World Para Table Tennis Championships in Slovenia. She was bereaved by the untimely death of her father during the tournament.[2]

Botucatu Futebol Clube signed Cátia as a promising footballer when she was 14 years old. In October 2007, teammate Renata Costa was driving Cátia and Michele in her Opel Corsa when she crashed into another car at a level crossing. Michele and Renata suffered minor injuries, while Cátia, who was asleep in the back seat, suffered a spinal cord injury resulting in paraplegia.[3][4] Costa was fined $576 for driving without a licence.[5] Cátia had been called up to the Brazil women's national under-17 football team on the day of the accident.[6]
