Biography

At 8 years old, Rogério suffered an accident at school when he fell off a wall and fractured his right femur, which caused his right leg to shorten by 8 cm. He was introduced to para-badminton during a lecture at school in 2013 and later joined the Brazilian national para-badminton team in 2016.[6]
