Lorraine Barbosa Martins (Born April 4, 2000) is a Brazilian sprinter.
Career
Martins first International competition came at the 2017 South American U20 Championships, where she won double gold in the 100m and 200m.[1] Martins ran for Brazil at the 2017 IAAF World U18 Championships, finishing 4th in the 100m. She also competed at the 2018 IAAF World U20 Championships, reaching the finals in the 100m event and the 200m event. Martins competed at the 2019 South American U20 Championships where she won gold in both the 100m and 200m events.
Martins competed at the 2019 World Championships in Athletics in the 200m and the 4x100m relay events, but failed to make a final in both, as the relay team was disqualified after running what would have been a final qualifying place in the heats.[2][3]
Martins, alongside her relay teammates, won gold in the 4x100m relay event at the 2019 Military World games.[4]
Martins is missing her index and ring fingers on her left hand, making it harder to get into position in the starting blocks.[5]
