Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Brazil competed at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States. 147 competitors, 126 men and 21 women, took part in 82 events in 17 sports. The country set a record with 8 medals – only surpassed in 1996 with 15, but only one medal was gold.

The runner Joaquim Cruz won the men's 800 metres event with an Olympic record. This was the first and until nowadays the only gold medal achieved by Brazilians in a track event in Athletics – all the other gold medals were in field events.

Brazilian football and volleyball men's teams started their success in Olympic history winning for the first time an Olympic medal. Both teams were silver medalists. The Olympic football team lost the final to France by 2 – 0. Brazil men's national volleyball team was defeated by host country United States by 3 sets to 0.

The swimmer Ricardo Prado was the silver medalist in the men's 400 metre individual medley. The sailor Torben Grael won the silver medal in the Soling class together with Daniel Adler and Ronaldo Senfft. It was the first Olympic medal won by Grael, whose five Olympic medals were a record for 40 years, when Rebeca Andrade won six.

Brazilian judokas won three Olympic medals in 1984. Douglas Vieira was a silver medalist in men's 95 kg category. Luis Onmura was a bronze medalist in men's 71 kg and Walter Carmona conquered bronze medal in men's 86 kg. [1]
