World Championships finalist Henrique Martins will be one of 10 swimmers to represent Brazil at this summer’s World University Games in Taipei, Taiwan.
Martins is coming off a 6th-place finish in the 50 fly at the 2017 World Championships in Budapest. He was also an Olympian for Brazil in 2016, and was a double gold medalist at the last edition of the summer World University Games in 2015.
Hoping to defend his 50 fly and 100 free titles, Martins leads a small-but-decorated Brazilian roster into Taipei, according to Globo.com. Gabriel Santos was part of the silver medal-winning 4×100 free relay in Budapest. Leonardo de Deus is a former Pan Pacs silver medalist and Pan Ams champ in the 200 fly. Martins has been a short course world champ and Manuella Lyrio is a former Pan Ams silver medalist.
The World University Games begin this Friday, with swimming kicking off on Sunday morning and running through Sunday, August 27th.
