Brazil at the 1992 Summer Olympics

Brazil competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. 182 competitors, 132 men and 50 women, took part in 107 events in 23 sports. Brazilian Team has conquered only 3 medals in Barcelona. It was the lowest number since Montreal 1976, but unlike Montreal, two of the three medals were gold and this is also until the date of the games the best result of the country, as the Barcelona Games was the first without boycotts since the Mexico City games in 1968.[1]

Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

The swimmer Gustavo Borges was a silver medalist in men's 100 metre freestyle. It was the first medal won by Borges, who has four Olympic medals (a total record among all Brazilian swimmers).

The judoka Rogério Sampaio won the gold medal in men's 65 kg category. In the final, he defeated József Csák from Hungary.

Brazil men's national volleyball team made history by conquering the first gold medal ever won by Brazilians not only in Volleyball but also in a team sport event. The team won all the eight matches of the tournament and losing only three sets. The gold medal was a surprise, given the team was young, had not achieved significant results in previous competitions and Italy was the favorite. In the gold-medal match, Brazil defeated Netherlands by 3 sets to 0.[2]
