Career

D'Almeida first competed internationally in 2013, and in 2014 won three gold medals at the South American Games (where he broke all South American records for 1440 Rounds) and qualified for the 2014 Archery World Cup Final as the second highest qualifier, where he won a silver medal, losing to Brady Ellison in the final by shoot-off. [4][5][6] His spectacular rise to the upper echelons of the sport while still a teenager has earned him the nickname, "Archery's Neymar".[7]

He won a silver medal in the individual competition at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics, in Nanjing, China, where he was the flagbearer for Brazil.[8]

gollark: If I took your mindstate and swapped out stuff like "likes helping people" and "likes some type of art" for "enjoys murdering people for fun" and "regularly abducts and tortures people" would that be "you"?
gollark: If my values were randomly remapped so I'd be a better pet, it wouldn't meaningfully be "me".
gollark: Same thing but just bored.
gollark: - it would work fine because ??? handwave and I'd be stuck in the constant barely-not-dying state of all wild animals for several years, probably incredibly bored and stressed at the same time, until I die of some wild animal thing.
gollark: See, if my mind were somehow stuck into a rabbit or something then either:- the limited rabbit brain wouldn't be able to support most of it. "I" would be stuck as a rabbit with a vague longing for missing things "I" can't actually understand
