Career
editBeach handball
editPrat achieved her greatest sporting successes in beach handball during the dream season of 2023 for the Guerreras de Arena.[2] That year, she won a European bronze medal,[3] a silver medal at the 2023 European Games in Kraków,[4] and a gold medal at the Mediterranean Beach Games in Heraklion.[5] This outstanding season led to her being nominated for best female athlete at the Fosbury Awards.[6]
In 2024, she competed again with the Spanish national team in the IHF Global Tour,[7] finishing as runners-up,[8] and at the World Championship, where Spain finished in fifth position.[9]
Indoor handball
editPrat was trained in the youth system of OAR Gràcia Sabadell, playing as a wing throughout her indoor career. In the 2015/16 season, she joined KH-7 BM Granollers, making her debut in the División de Honor. However, her time with the Granollers team lasted only that season due to a cruciate ligament injury that sidelined her from November 2015. She returned to OAR in 2017 to complete her recovery.[10]
In 2019, having recovered, she returned to compete with Handbol Sant Quirze in what was then División de Honor Plata, and with the Sant Quirze team, she achieved promotion to División de Honor, marking her second foray into the Spanish top division.[11]
