Career

Adriana Behar began her career at Flamengo as an indoor volleyball player . She played one season in Portugal and two years in Italy before starting her beach volleyball career. Winning a bronze medal at the FIVB tour was the greatest success of the three-year collaboration between Magda Lima and Adriana Behar, which began in 1993 and played her first tournament with Shelda Bede at the end of 1995 . Since then, the two Brazilians have won 31 FIVB tournaments, including two World Championships in 1999 and 2001. In 1999, the two South Americans also won the Pan American Games . At the Olympic Games in 2000 and 2004 Adriana / Shelda reached the final, but lost both times. They became Tour Champion of the FIVB six times, five of them uninterruptedly in the years 1997 to 2001. A runner-up world title in 2003 and a bronze medal at the 1997 World Cup complete the track record of the two Brazilians. At Adriana Behar's last international tournament in her home country in the birthplace of her partner in September 2007, the two made it to the semi-finals again.

In 2006 Behar was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and in 2010 Behar and Bede were inducted into the Volleyball Hall of Fame .
