Born with glaucoma, Jeferson da Conceiçao Gonçalves, known as "Jefinho," was completely blind by age seven, three years before he learned to play soccer. He had seen images of Pele but never watched videos of the legendary Brazilian soccer player in action.

"It's awesome," she said of the Rio Games, "because you're competing against people just like you."
