Career

In 2014, de Souza Silva won a World Championship bronze medal in the men's C2 200 m with Isaquias Queiroz.[6] A year later, that team won World Championship gold in the C2 1000 m.[7]

This team also won a silver medal at the 2016 Olympics in the C2 1000 m.[8]

At the following World Championships, the team were unable to defend their title, finishing in 4th place in the final.[9] In 2018, Silva and Queiroz won World Championship gold again, this time in the C2 500 m.[10]

In 2019, the team won World Championship bronze, this time at the C2 1000 m.[11]

A hip injury prevented Silva from attending the 2020 Summer Olympics, forcing Jacky Godmann to take his place as Queiroz's partner.[12]

Personal life

Silva took up canoeing aged 14 in his native Ubatã, but later moved to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. He is married to Rosangela.[4]
