At the 1988 Olympic Winter Games short-track speed skating was a demonstration event and Maria Rosa Candido placed third in the 3,000 metres and helped her Italian team win the 3,000 metre relay. She won bronze in the relay at the 1987 Montréal World Championships and another bronze at the 1991 Sydney Worlds.
