TEAM BRAZIL GUIDE

Updated in 25/07/2021

The Brazil Olympic Committee

(BOC) is facing the most challenging

Mission in its history. As if it wasn’t

enough to set up a complex and

excellent operation on the other

side of the world, the pandemic and

the postponement of the Games

demanded an enormous effort

from each COB employee, each

Confederation, each athlete. Our

athletes, by the way, were put to

the test intensely, showing more

than ever resilience, courage,

and focus on arriving in Tokyo

ready to give their best.

Proof of this is that this will be the

largest Brazilian delegation in an

edition of the Olympic Games held

abroad: 303 athletes, surpassing

the 277 in Beijing 2008, with

representatives from 35 modalities.

Through this Guide, the reader will

learn a little more about the athletes

of the Brazilian Olympic delegation

in Tokyo 2020, as well as access to

historical data and curiosities about

the Brazilian participation in the

Olympic Games.

Great Games for everyone!!

Paulo Wanderley

President of the Brazil Olympic

Committee

“I’m a supporter of Team Blazil”. In this way, Cebolinha and the entire Turma da Mônica announced a partnership with the COB in 2019, seeking to bring the fans closer to Brazilian athletes.

note

Revealed at Minas Tênis Clube’s youth team, Lucarelli was only the team’s sixth wing spiker in 2010. The following year, he became the first-team player and best attacker in the Superliga. The meteoric rise led him to the national team in 2012.

Wallace started to like volleyball for real when he was 17 years old. Before, his great passions were cars and computers. The main weapon to overcome the opponent’s blockade of the opposite spiker of the national team is the impulse.

1. In Tokyo 2020, midfielder Formiga, cyclist Jaqueline Mourão, sailor Robert Scheidt, and rider Rodrigo Pessoa will break the record for participation of a Brazilian athlete in the Olympic Games: seven.

2. Formiga is the only player in history to have played in all Olympic women’s football tournaments, which started being in the Games in Atlanta 1996.

3. Versatility was one of Jaqueline Mourão’s strengths to compete in seven Olympic Games. She went to Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 on mountain bike, but also has four participations in Winter Games, cross-country skiing and biathlon.

4. Brazil’s biggest Olympic medalist in the Olympic Games, Robert Scheidt has 2 golds, 2 silvers, and 1 bronze in the history of the event, as well as a 4th place in Rio 2016.

5. Rodrigo Pessoa was in all editions of the Games between Barcelona 1992 and London 2012. After being away at Rio 2016, he returns to Team Brazil in Tokyo.

6. Two other national sport legends will participate in the Games for the eighth time: Hugo Hoyama (table tennis) and Torben Grael (sailing). Both competed in six editions of the event as athletes and, since Rio 2016, have held new roles: Hoyama is the women’s national team coach and Torben, the team manager.

7. More than them, only Katsuhico Nakaya, who goes to his ninth participation in the Olympic Games. Finalist as an athlete in the 4x100m in Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984, Nakaya was a physical trainer for the women’s team in handball in Sydney 2000 and athletics coach in another five editions: Atlanta 1996, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016.

8. Still talking about record participations, table tennis player Gustavo Tsuboi is the athlete who most often represented the country in Team Brazil Missions. Tokyo 2020 will be his 13th competition. He has been in 3 Olympic Games (2008 to 2016), 5 Pan American Games (2003 to 2019), and 4 South American Games (2002 to 2014).

CURIOSITIES

CURIOSITIES

9. Another record that will be broken in Tokyo is the youngest Brazilian athlete to participate in the Games. Skater Rayssa Leal will be 13 years and 203 days on the date of her competition (July 26), surpassing swimmer Talita Rodrigues, who made her debut in London 1948 at 13 years and 347 days.

10. The most experienced athlete in the squad will be Marcelo Tosi, from Three-day event equestrian, who is 51 years old. The rider has already been to the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Games.

11.Among the athletes classified for Tokyo 2020, 26 have already won at least one Olympic medal. And 14 of them are Olympic champions: Thiago Braz, athletics; Arthur Zanetti, artistic gymnastics; Rodrigo Pessoa, equestrian - jumping; Kahena Kunze, Martine Grael, and Robert Scheidt, from sailing; Bruninho, Fernanda Garay, Lucão, Natália, Tandara, and Wallace, volleyball; Alison and Bruno Schmidt, beach volleyball.

12.The other Olympic medalists are: Rosângela Santos, athletics; Isaquias Queiroz, canoe sprint; Bárbara, Erika, Formiga, and Marta, from football; Arthur Nory, artistic gymnastics; Ketleyn Quadros, Mayra Aguiar, and Rafael Silva, judo; Fernanda Oliveira, sailing; and Ágatha, beach volleyball.

13.On the other hand, there will be 177 athletes debuting in the Olympic Games. Of these, 75 are part of a Team Brazil Mission for the first time, 18 in men’s football and 12 in skateboarding.

14.The delegation will also have 26 athletes who participated in the Youth Olympic Games, such as Thiago Braz (athletics), Arthur Nory (artistic gymnastics), Flavia Saraiva (artistic gymnastics), and Duda Lisboa (beach volleyball).

15.Eight of them attended the most recent edition of the event, held in Buenos Aires 2018: Lucas Vilar (athletics), Keno Marley (boxing), Diogo Soares (artistic gymnastics), Duda Arakaki (rhythmic gymnastics), Ana Vieira (swimming), Murilo Sartori (swimming), Iêda Guimarães (modern pentathlon), and Bruna Takahashi (table tennis).

COB PROTOCOLS

Preserving the health of the Brazilian delegation is the main objective of the COB in Tokyo 2020. Since the postponement of the Olympic Games, the medical area has sought to develop protocols that protect athletes, officials, and all participants in the event.

The first one was creating a Medical Commission to combat Covid-19, with the presence of two infectologists. Together with the Head of the Mission, this group takes the most important decisions in the operation, ranging from the testing of the members to, for example, the division of the athletes’ rooms in the Olympic Village and the booking of transportation seats.

Another important measure was the delegation reduction, canceling the Olympic Experience, Olympic Family, Ambassadors, and Family and Friends programs. On the other hand, the COB doubled the number of physicians in Japan, going from eight to 16 professionals. Using intelligence tools, it was also possible to monitor the athletes in relation to possible injuries and, of course, the symptoms of Covid-19.

Before leaving for Tokyo, all Team Brazil members underwent clinical and laboratory tests, including exercise testing and echocardiography. Besides, they underwent a serological test, four RT-PCR, and one antigen test, not to mention mandatory testing upon arriving in Japan, following the official protocol of the Games Organizing Committee (TOCOG), described in published manuals (so-called Playbooks, dedicated to each specific functional area). COB took 14,000 antigen tests to Japan, thanks to the technical partnership with Fiocruz. And, before boarding for the Games, the members of the Brazilian delegation underwent RT-PCR exams, the result of a partnership with Prevent Sports. As a result, all were and will be tested even more frequently than required by the Japanese Government and organizers of the Games.

It should also be noted that a large part of the Brazilian delegation is already vaccinated, which does not mean that protocols will be flexible. All participants in the Games must use mobile applications made available by the Organizing Committee to ensure the control of displacements, contacts, symptoms, and tests.

With eight exclusive bases in Japan, the COB will offer greater security to athletes and officials by offering services such as food, medical care and physical therapy, room for strength and physical fitness, among others.
