Early life

Paiola was born in Campinas, and his father died when he was one year old.{{cite news|url=http://www.bwfbadminton.org/news_item.aspx?id=97331|title=Dream Day for Paiola – TOTAL BWF World Championships: Day 2 Session 1|first=Dev|last=Sukumar|publisher=Badminton World Federation|date=11 August 2015|accessdate=23 May 2016|archive-date=19 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919022622/http://www.bwfbadminton.org/news_item.aspx?id=97331|url-status=dead}} He started out playing tennis, but took up badminton at age 13 after a shoulder injury took him out for year. While still a teenager, his mother sent him to train in Portugal with Marco Vasconcelos, a fifteen-time Portuguese national champion, and his training also took him to Spain, Denmark and Malaysia.{{cite news|url=http://esporteempauta.com.br/personagens/melhor-do-badminton-no-brasil-daniel-paiola-quer-centro-de-treinamento-no-pais|title=Melhor do badminton no Brasil, Paiola quer centro de treinamento no país|first=Beatriz|last=Nantes|publisher=Esporte em Pauta|date=19 June 2012|accessdate=23 May 2016|language=Portuguese}} His first international tournament was the 2007 Pan Am Junior Badminton Championships, where he competed in the under-19 boys' singles and mixed doubles events.

Professional career

Paiola made his professional international debut at the 2008 South Africa International in Cape Town, where he won a gold medal in the men's singles category.{{cite web|url=http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/winners.aspx?id=B8152C52-4562-42C6-A91E-20980935F395|title=South Africa 2008|publisher=Tournament Software|accessdate=23 May 2016}}

In August 2011, Paiola competed at the 2011 BWF World Championships in London. He lost his first match to Kazushi Yamada of Japan (13-21, 9-21).{{cite news|url=http://esportes.terra.com.br/jogos-pan-americanos/2011/daniel-paiola-perde-e-da-adeus-ao-mundial-de-badminton,20c8f1729453d310VgnCLD200000bbcceb0aRCRD.html|title=Daniel Paiola perde e dá adeus ao Mundial de badminton|publisher=Terra.com.br|date=10 August 2011|accessdate=23 May 2016|language=Portuguese}} He also competed in men's doubles with compatriot Hugo Arthuso. They lost in the first round to Chris Adcock and Andrew Ellis (10-21, 11-21).{{cite news|url=http://en.espn.co.uk/more/sport/story/104782.html|title=English badminton duo book tie with third seeds|publisher=ESPN.co.uk|date=8 August 2011|accessdate=24 May 2016}}

He also competed at the 2014 BWF World Championships in Kuala Lumpur. In the men's singles tournament, he lost his first match against Austrian David Obernosterer (21-17, 11-21, 17-21).{{cite news|url=http://www.juventudrebelde.cu/deportes/2014-08-25/osleni-guerrero-cayo-en-mundial-de-badminton/|title=Osleni Guerrero cayó en Mundial de bádminton|publisher=Juventud Rebelde|date=25 August 2014|accessdate=24 May 2016|language=Spanish}} He also participated in mixed doubles, where he and Paula Pereira lost in the first round to the Austrian pairing of Roman Zirnwald and Elisabeth Baldauf (15-21, 17-21). The following August at the 2015 event, though, he avenged his loss to Obernosterer by beating him by the scores of 21-14, 11-21, 24-22. He subsequently lost his second-round match with Lin Dan (widely considered one of the greatest badminton players ever) with scores of 14-21, 14-21.
