Raquel Maria Reis Felgueiras (born 1 February 1980) is a Portuguese former swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events.[2] She held a long-course Portuguese record in the 200 m butterfly until it was broken by Sara Oliveira in 2008 (2:10.14). Felgueiras is a former member of Sporting Clube de Braga, and is trained by her long-time coach and mentor José Manuel Borges.[1]
Felgueiras made her Olympic debut, as Portugal's only female swimmer, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where she competed in the women's 200 m butterfly. Swimming in heat two, she picked up a fifth spot and twenty-seventh overall by 0.72 of a second behind Ukraine's Zhanna Lozumyrska in 2:15.19.[3][4]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Felgueiras qualified again for the 200 m butterfly by eclipsing a FINA B-cut of 2:13.08 from the European Championships in Madrid.[5][6] She challenged seven other swimmers on the same heat as Sydney, including top medal favorite Éva Risztov of Hungary. She raced to sixth place by 0.54 of a second behind Risztov's teammate Beatrix Boulsevicz, matching her personal best and entry time of 2:13.08. Felgueiras failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed twentieth overall in the preliminaries.[7][8]
