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 Perlingeiro and Guilherme Marques won the bronze medal. In the women's competition, the duo Roseli Ana Timm and Rose Barcellos won the bronze medal after beating the duo Isabel Salgado and Jackie Silva. [8]
There was also a specific case with the Wushu Tournament at the 2008 Summer Olympics, simply called an "affiliated tournament". The inclusion of the martial arts tournament, also known in the West as Kung Fu, in the Olympic program was requested by the Chinese commission. However, the IOC canceled the inclusion of demonstration or exhibition sports after Barcelona 1992, but made an exception for wushu to be contested with its approval, under certain conditions: the fighters had access to all the Games' infrastructure; they could reside in the Olympic Village, use official transportation and credentials, and their fights were reported in official newsletters, including live broadcasts only on Chinese TV; the sport had its own pictogram; Their matches took place in the same gymnasium that hosted the handball tournament, so all the decorations with the inscription "Beijing 2008", hundreds of volunteers, and all the "Olympic-level" facilities were available to those involved. However, the medals distributed were not the official Games model, the athletes could not participate in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and there could be no allusion to the terms "demonstration sport" or "exhibition sport" anywhere. Three Brazilians were in the competition and one was a medalist, the fighter Emerson Nogueira de Almeida won a bronze medal in the sanshou category (up to 85 kg). [9]
In 1932, sprinter Adalberto Cardoso, [10] 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. [11]
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.
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.
