Vieira represented Brazil at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's 3000 metres steeplechase. She ran in the third and last heat against sixteen other athletes, including Spain's Marta Domínguez, who was considered a heavy favorite in this event. Unfortunately, she was unable to cross the finish line, and most importantly, to complete the entire race at the end of her heat.[3]
Vieira is a full-time member of Associação Profissional BM&F in São Caetano do Sul, São Paulo, being coached and trained by Clodoaldo Lopes do Carmo.
