After leading through a tie the day before, Gabriel struggled to compete well on Tuesday night. Sensing an injury to his left thigh, he ended up in the last match won by Jamaican Ronald Levy, with a time of 13s 23s.
– I felt my left thigh. I’ve spoken with the COB medical department before and decided to come here to compete anyway, to represent Brazil in the Olympic semi-finals. I’m leaving the competition with my head held high, Gabriel Constantino said.
Minutes later, it was Rafael Pereira’s turn to enter the track to try to qualify for the final. The Brazilian finished sixth in a match involving the American Grant Holloway, the current world champion, who won 1,313.

– I didn’t like the weather, it was my worst season. But that doesn’t take away my happiness from being here. Especially running on the men’s side. Guys I just saw them on the internet and now I’m against. I’m 1000% happy – Rafael Pereira commented.
