The 18-year-old earned his reputation by winning gold at the World Archery Youth Championships in Yankton last year, having also won a silver medal at the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games.

D’Almeida has come through the selection process to be included in the host nation’s men’s team for the Games, where he will compete with Daniel Rezende and Bernardo Oliveira.

Sarah Nikitin, Ane Marcelle Dos Santos and Marina Canetta have been chosen at Brazil’s competitors in the women’s team recurve event.

The alternates were named as Michelle Acquesta and Marcelo Costa, with the duo missing out from the declared teams after the Archery World Cup stages in Medellin and Antalya.

They had made it to the final eight in contention for places, following a number of Brazilian selection tournaments at the start of the year.

Rezende is the sole member of the team to boast experience of competing at a Summer Olympic Games, having finished 33rd in the individual recurve competition at London 2012.

With Brazil having narrowly missed out on a medal in the mixed team event at the Archery World Cup in Medellin, Oliveira is confident the country will be able to celebrate a podium finish at the Games.

“We want a medal, it doesn’t matter if it’s a team or individual, men or women.

“Archery is already receiving a lot of support and attention in Brazil, and an Olympic medal would be the ultimate boost.

“And our latest international results give us the confidence to be chasing such a goal.”

Having been granted a full allocation of quota places, Brazil will compete in both the team and individual competitions at the Games.

The host country are yet to win an Olympic medal in archery.
