Olympics-Team Brazil

Background

The Confederação Brasileira de Desportos (CBD), founded on 20 August 1914, was the first sporting body from Brazil affiliated with the Olympics. The National Olympic Committee of Brazil was formed on 20 May 1935 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) later that year. Brazil has competed at every Olympics since 1920, with the sole exception of 1928.

Brazil’s successes have come in a variety of disciplines. It has won medals in several different sports, and has always had one of the top basketball, volleyball, and football (soccer) teams. Through 2022, Brazilian athletes have won 150 Olympic medals, 37 of them gold, all at the Summer Olympics, the most medals of any South American country. Their best performance came at Tokyo 2020, with 21 medals and seven golds, surpassing the 2016 Games, where they were hosts and won 19 medals (and also seven gold).^[1]

This is an ongoing project to ensure that all Olympians who represented Brazil are on Wikitree.

• Connected to their family
• Connected to the Global Tree, if possible
• With profiles that have biographical, family, and sporting information
• Well sourced
