Career

[edit]

In 2016, Camargo appeared as a great promise in Brazilian fencing, winning the Junior Pan-American Championship in épée.[3]

He competed in the 2016 Summer Olympics.[1][4]

In the 2017 Pan American Fencing Championships he won a bronze in the individual épee competition, at just 18 years old.[5]

He participated at the 2019 Pan American Games held in Lima, Peru, where he won the silver medal in the Brazilian foil team, participating as a reserve. In the men's épée team, he finished 5th.[6][7]

At the 2021 South American Fencing Championships, held in Lima, Peru, he obtained the silver medal in épée.[8]

At the 2022 South American Games held in Asunción, Chile, he won a bronze medal in the individual épée. [9]

Camargo was at the 2023 World Fencing Championships, held in Milan, Italy. He participated in the Brazilian men's épée team, which defeated Great Britain 44-40 in the first round, but in the 2nd phase, faced the powerful Italy, who would go on to become champions of the tournament, losing 44-21. [10]

Seven years after emerging as a promise, and gaining experience over the years, Camargo won a bronze medal at the 2023 Pan American Games hosted in Santiago, Chile, in the Men's épée, defeating Colombian Jhon Rodríguez in the quarter-finals, 10th in the world and best in the Americas at the moment. In this category, only Arthur Cramer, in Winnipeg 1967, 56 years ago, had come this far to Brazil.[3]
