Career

Through the Pan American qualifier, Titoneli earned a spot to represent Brazil at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[3] Titoneli won her first match against Julyana Al-Sadeq, and then lost the quarterfinals to eventual gold medalist Matea Jelić. Jelić's semifinal win sent Titoneli to the repechage, where after beating Lauren Lee, she reached the bronze dispute against Ivorian fighter Ruth Gbagbi, bronze medalist at the Rio 2016 Games. In spite of a balanced fight for most of the match, Titoneli lost and finished in 4th place.[4]
