   Pass/Fail:

Lead

Early life

2009: Partnerin with Cicolari, World Tour debut

• "She quit indoor volleyball so as to focus solely on the beach game." - "so as" is redundant
• "They concluded their first year as teammates ranked No. 43" - use the abbr template on No. so that the reader hovering over it knows it means Number

2012: London Olympics

• "So as to avoid worsening a shoulder injury," - In order

2013: Partnering with Orsi Toth

• "They capped off a dominant tournament run" - finished
• "After Gstaad, Carvalho decided to split the pair" - change the text in bold to separate for variety
• "with fourth-place finishes at the $220K Moscow and São Paulo Grand Slams." - with two fourth-place

• "they wrapped up their first season together ranked No. 44 " - finished

2014–2015: First World Tour title

• "Their results picked up in September" - got better

2016: Rio Olympics
