Gomes was invited by FINA to compete as a lone female Mozambican swimmer in the 50 m freestyle at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Swimming as the fastest entrant in heat four, Gomes exploded off the blocks and came up with a magnificent effort to the top of the field in a scorching time and lifetime best of 28.15. Gomes' astonishing feat from the prelims was not enough to put her through to the semifinals, sharing a tie with Albania's Rovena Marku for the fifty-eighth overall position.[2]
