In the third and final attempt, the Brazilian burned out and was unable to finish among the top eight, leaving in 11th place. Therefore, Luiz did not have the chance to throw three more times and ended his participation in the Paris Olympic Games without the javelin throw medal.


The gold went to Arshad Nadeem, from Pakistan, being the country's first gold medal in the history of the sport. Meanwhile, Indian Neeraj Chopra, who was the big favorite in the sport, took silver, and Anderson Peters, from Granada, took bronze.

SOUNDED BY FLAMENGO

The midfielder is linked to West Ham (ING), but is experiencing a turbulent situation in England.

DECISION AT LIBERTADORES

Most Querido is focused on the confrontation against Peñarol, in the Libertadores quarter-finals. Therefore, Flamengo faces the Uruguayans this Thursday (19), at 7pm, at Maracanã.

One of the dreams of many children in Brazil is to become a football player, and Luiz Maurício was no exception to this rule. As a child, between 10 and 11 years old, he joined the football schools of Tupi, the champion club of Series D of the Brasileirão in 2011 and with titles at state level.

He fell in love with the sport and never returned to the field or the ball. Luiz's mother, Cláudia Dias, said that she was against her son's decision at first, but due to the father's intervention and her son's wishes, she gave in and accepted the boy's move to the new sport. “I went to pick up Luiz from training and he wasn’t there. I was worried. Then he told me that he had gone to athletics with his friends and that he liked it. I fought with him, I told him that what made money was football, that I was chasing it so he could have a better life”, he said. 


In 2012, Luiz Maurício began his career in athletics in the Cria UFJF project, at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, where he did all the basics and won titles in the javelin throw until 2020. Amidst the coronavirus pandemic Covid-19, he needed to train on the street and at home to maintain his physical and technical shape. With an invitation from the Brazilian Army in hand, he decided to accept and joined the Ministry of Defense's High Performance Program. In February 2024, he agreed with Praia Clube, from Uberlândia, which has the second largest delegation of athletes from Brazil in this edition of the Olympic Games.

Passionate about the Gávea club and a fan of Gabigol, Luiz Maurício often takes photos with the red-black shirt. Although supporting the Rio club was a childhood love, his ties with Flamengo became even closer after 2020. Going to the Army and carrying out training in Rio de Janeiro physically brought Luiz Maurício closer to the team and made his journey easier. from him to Maracanã to support the Rio team.
