As a 10-month-old, a domestic accident left him with third-degree oil burns on his head and characteristic scars.[3]

At just 19 years old, he participated in the 2019 Pan American Games, held in Lima, Peru, where he won the 400m hurdles event, breaking his personal record, with the time of 48s45. It was the 4th best time in the world at the moment, and with that, he qualified for the Tokyo Olympics 2020. He had already won gold in the same event, at the 2019 Summer University, weeks before. [4]

In September 2019, he went to the 2019 World Athletics Championship in Doha, Qatar, where he won the 400m hurdles semifinal in 48s35, breaking his personal record again and going to the final with the second best overall time. The last time a Brazilian had reached the final of this event in the Worlds was with Eronilde Araújo, in 1999. In the final, he broke his personal record again, finishing in 7th place, with the time of 48s28. He was just 0.25s from the bronze medalist. [5][6]
