He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder in May 2020 after suffering recurring pain for a year previously. (olimpiadatododia.com.br, 22 May 2020)

In 2019 he was diagnosed with chondromalacia in his left knee, a condition where the cartilage deteriorates, softens and causes pain. The condition does not have a cure and has to be treated with ice after each training session. The injury did not prevent him from competing at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, and the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. (uol.com.br, 28 Jul 2019; gauchazh.clicrbs.com.br, 03 Jan 2020)

He underwent surgery on his right shoulder in November 2016. Although he started full training again in April 2017, the injury returned and he required a further operation in November 2017. (globoesporte.globo.com, 23 Nov 2017, 10 Nov 2016)

He underwent foot surgery in late 2016. (rededoesporte.gov.br, 11 Apr 2019; ecp.org.br, 05 Jun 2019)

He underwent knee surgery in February 2015 on an injury sustained while training with the Brazilian national team. (globoesporte.globo.com, 12 Feb 2015)

In 2013 he suffered microfractures and tendinitis in his right shoulder. He was sidelined for two months. (globoesporte.globo.com, 17 Jun 2013)

Early in his career, a ring strap snapped off and hit his right eye. He had to undergo surgery to avoid losing sight in the eye. (globoesporte.globo.com, 17 Jun 2013)

He took up gymnastics at age 11. (ecp.org.br, 05 Jun 2019)

His father, a former judoka, enrolled him in judo lessons at age six. He then discovered gymnastics after he saw some training sessions at the centre where he practised judo. At age 11 he was spotted by a coach from the Pinheiros club in Sau Paulo, Brazil, who invited him to try out, and he passed. Three years later he began focusing exclusively on gymnastics. "Judo became more of an obligation. A change was needed. My father insisted I should stay in judo. He thought [gymnastics] would be only a hobby." In 2008 coaches and club staff convinced his father he had a future in gymnastics. (ecp.org.br, 05 Jun 2019; eusoutimebrasil.com.br, 01 Jan 2018; esportes.estadao.com.br, 28 Sep 2013)

Philosophy:

He was named Brazilian of the Year in the sport category by the Brazilian magazine Istoe. (istoe.com.br, 02 Dec 2019)

LATE STARTER
He says taking up the sport at age 11 meant he missed out on early training and had to catch up fast. "I had never climbed on a horse, on the rings, or on the parallel [bars], and so I ended up learning very quickly." He says he struggled at his first competition in Brazil. "I wasn't even going to participate, but they decided to put me in because I was already doing everything that other boys my age did, but I was still very immature, it was all very new. It was difficult, I messed up and cried in the middle of the competition. I didn't finish last but I was right there at the bottom of the list." (ecp.org.br, 05 Jun 2019)
