Her elder sister Maria Clara Salgado is also a successful beach volleyball player, as was their mother Isabel in past years.[1]

Opposition to Jair Bolsonaro
editIn 2020, Salgado was punished by the Brazilian Superior Court of Sports Justice (Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva) for shouting "Bolsonaro, out!" during a live interview. She was fined 100,000 reais and was suspended for 6 games. She protested the punishment and in a second trial she was absolved of all charges. The Brazilian Volleyball Confederation accused her of “staining the sport”, even though many other volleyball players have consistently showed support for Bolsonaro without any repercussions or reprimands.[2]
