Medalists in exhibition sports
[edit]There are also medalists in demonstration sports, or exhibition sports, in which their results are not computed by the IOC for the overall medal table, but the athletes who go to the podium are awarded medals of an identical model to that of the edition, but in a reduced size, with 3/4 of the dimensions of the official medals.
This is the case of tennis at the 1968 Summer Olympics, with the Brazilian Suzana Petersen who competed in doubles with the Ecuadorian María Eugenia Guzmán and with the Soviet, born in Georgia Teimuraz Kakulia, winning three bronze medals by finishing in third place in the three modalities (singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles) [5] and beach volleyball at the 1992 Summer Olympics, [6] with the Brazilian men's doubles Eduardo Garrido and Roberto Moreira, winning the silver medal[7] and André Lima and Guilherme Marques won the bronze medal. In the women's competition, the duo Roseli Ana Timm and Roseliane dos Santos won the bronze medal after beating the duo Isabel Salgado and Jackie Silva.[8]
Special Medals
[edit]In 1932, sprinter Adalberto Cardoso, [9] was unable to disembark in Los Angeles along with most of the Brazilian athletes and continued to San Francisco with the other members, where he became separated from the rest of the group, disembarked clandestinely and, with 24 hours to go before the competition, traveled the 600km between the two cities on foot and then hitchhiked, only arriving at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 10 minutes before the start of the 10,000m race. Without having slept for more than 18 hours, without having eaten properly and without time to dress properly, Cardoso competed barefoot and finished in last place, but was applauded by the public and won a special medal of honor in recognition of his effort. [10]
In 2004, Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima was awarded the Pierre de Coubertin medal, a rare honor given by the International Olympic Committee. Until that date, it had been awarded only 9 times.
Multiple medalists
[edit]According to official data of the International Olympic Committee, this is a list of all 116 athletes with at least two Olympic medals representing Brazil. The list is sorted by most gold medals, most silver medals, most bronze medals. In case of a tie, the list is in alphabetical order.
