Aiming for Gold; Brazil Sets Sights on Paris 2024 Olympic Games

Brazil is set to send a delegation of 276 athletes (153 women and 123 men) to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, competing in 29 sports. This marks Brazil’s return to the Summer Olympics in Europe after 12 years. Can Brazil claim more gold medals and make history again at the Paris 2024 Olympics?

Brazil has won a total of 150 Olympic medals, consisting of 37 gold, 42 silver, and 71 bronze. Volleyball (indoor and beach) stands out as the sport with the most medals for Brazil. At Paris 2024, volleyball remains Brazil’s main hope.

In gymnastics, Rebeca Andrade, who won gold in the vault at Tokyo 2020, will seek to add to her medal tally. Isaquias Queiroz, a dominant force in canoe sprint with multiple medals including gold at Tokyo 2020, is another strong contender.

Volleyball

Brazil is set to make another strong showing in volleyball at the Paris 2024 Olympics, aiming to add to its impressive tally of 24 Olympic medals in the sport, which includes 10 gold, 10 silvers, and 4 bronzes.

Bruno Mossa Rezende, commonly known as Bruno, is a cornerstone of the Brazilian men’s volleyball team. At 38 years old, Bruno continues to play a pivotal role as a setter, orchestrating the team’s offensive strategies with exceptional skill and experience. His enduring presence on the team highlights his importance and leadership.

On the women’s side, Gabriela Braga Guimarães, or Gabi, stands out as a key player. At 30 years old, Gabi has been a consistent performer for both her national team and club. She led her team to a silver medal at the 2022 FIVB Volleyball Women’s Nations League as team captain and was named Most Valuable Player and Best Outside Hitter at the 2015 South American Championship. Her club successes include back-to-back CEV Champions League titles and the Turkish League championship with VakıfBank S.K. Gabi’s leadership and skill will be crucial for Brazil’s hopes in Paris.

Judo

Brazil has secured a total of 24 Olympic medals in Judo (4 gold, 3 silvers, and 17 bronzes).

One of the most prominent judokas representing Brazil is Mayra Aguiar. Competing in the -78 kg weight class, the 32-year-old Aguiar is known for her powerful and technical judo style. She has consistently performed at the top level, earning two Olympic bronze medals (2012, 2016) and multiple World Championship titles (2014, 2017, 2022). Her presence in Paris is expected to be significant for Brazil’s judo team.

Sailing

Brazilian sailing has also made significant strides on the international stage, contributing 18 Olympic medals (8 gold, 3 silvers, and 7 bronzes).

One of the most decorated sailors in Olympic history, Robert Scheidt, will be a key figure for Brazil in Paris. At 51 years old, Scheidt has an illustrious career with two Olympic golds, two silvers, and one bronze, alongside multiple World Championship titles in both the Laser and Star classes. His enduring skill and dedication continue to inspire the sailing world.

Another formidable duo in Brazilian sailing is Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze, known for their achievements in the 49er FX class. Grael, 33, and Kunze, 32, have each won two Olympic golds (Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020) and multiple World Championship titles. Their strong partnership and consistent top finishes in international regattas have established them as a dominant team in their class.

Analysts highlight that if Brazil surpasses its performance from Tokyo 2020, where they won seven gold medals, it would be considered a highly successful outcome.

Odds and Qualifications

Data from Gambyl Betting Exchange indicates that Brazil’s athletes have promising odds to win medals in various disciplines. For example, Rebeca Andrade has a 55.6% chance of winning a medal in artistic gymnastics based on the odds. This strong probability highlights Brazil’s potential for a successful performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

With these strong contenders and positive predictions, Brazil looks forward to making a significant impact at the Paris 2024 Olympics, potentially achieving one of its best performances in history.
