Carolina Mendelblatt

Eight years after competing in her last Olympics, Mendelblatt joined the Portuguese squad to compete for the second time in the RS:X class at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London by receiving a berth from the World Championships in Cadiz, Spain. Mendelblatt withdrew from the Games before the event had officially started, claiming that she lacked the support of the Portuguese mission and that she was three months pregnant.

Mendelblatt made her official debut as a member of the Brazilian squad at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where she placed twenty-fifth in women's Mistral sailboard with an accumulated net score of 229, edging out Puerto Rico's Karla Barrera by a vast, 31-point gap.

Mendelblatt is married to Star sailor and two-time U.S. Olympian Mark Mendelblatt (2004 and 2012), and the couple currently resides in Miami, Florida.
