Gabriela Viscardi started in sports since she was 10 years old. Practiced swimming for 4 years including competitions in Porto Alegre, Brazil. She also played soccer, basketball, and handball. Since she was little she also started in modeling.

“At 18, I started training in the gym, I trained every day, participated in my first beauty competitions, ‘Garota Inter surf’ where I took first place, ‘Miss Rio Grande do Sul’ where I represented Capão da Canoa being “Miss Capão da Canoa”. I kept working as a model and never stopped training, I went to live in Italy for a year working as a model”. 

After returning to Brazil, she was called to work in Guatemala as a model, where she currently resides. “It was there where I started training harder and harder and began to radically change my diet. I began to have the support of a nutritionist who, along with a nutritionist friend, helped me a lot” says @viscardigabriela_

Gabriela studied diplomacy and international relations at Galileo University while continuing to train and work.

“My desire to enter the world of bodybuilding increased more and more. A friend of mine in Brazil (my future coach) always supported me and insisted on me becoming a Bikini competitor, although I was not sure. My first competition was in 2015 before the Guatemalan federation, in ‘Sr. Old city ’, where I got first place. Then Musclemania Mexico, where I placed second. In 2016, I competed in ‘Mr. Raza Guatemala ’, placing first and on my last show, I also placed first.

To continue competing for the Guatemalan federation, I would have to be part of the federation, which was not possible, among other things, because I was Brazilian and someone argued that it was not fair for my “genetics” to train together with the others. This was very sad but I did not give up, bodybuilding had become not only a dream, but it was also a personal challenge. I had some health problems for about 2 years, while still concentrating on my training and my diets, I lost a lot of weight, I thought I would never return to compete.

In 2018, I returned little by little to train and take care of myself, in 2019 I returned to compete in Mr. Olympia Amador, placing second; competed in ‘Professional’, where I placed third. In 2020, at ‘The International Muscle Contest Amador’ and ‘Professional’ placing fourth.”
