Biography

Felici made her official debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where she wound up to seventh in the inaugural women's trap with a score of 64 hits, narrowly missing a spot for the final round by just a single point behind Russia's Yelena Tkach. [4] [5] Felici was also appointed by the San Marino Olympic Committee (Italian : Comitato Olimpico Nazionale Sammarinese ) to carry the national flag in the opening ceremony.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Felici qualified for her second Sammarinese squad, as a 23-year-old, in the women's trap by finishing ninth and securing an Olympic ticket from the 2003 ISSF World Cup series in Granada, Spain. [2] [6] She amassed a total score of 60 hits out of 75 targets in the qualifying stage, but fell abruptly in a shoot-off for the final round against South Korean shooter and eventual bronze medalist Lee Bo-na by 2 to 1, matching her position from the previous Games in the process.
