Career

Having suffered from a lack of oxygenation during childbirth, Manara had cerebral palsy. As a form of therapeutic rehabilitation, table tennis also found a way to play sport competitively. He was three-time Parapanemerican champion in class C8,[1] and in 2024 he won the bronze medal alongside Claudio Massad in the MD18 men's doubles at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.[2][3]
