Paulo André Camilo de Oliveira (often called Camilo to avoid homonymy, born 20 August 1998) is a Brazilian sprinter.[1] In the 100m, he was a silver medalist at the 2019 Pan Am Games, and a semi-finalist in the World Athletics Championship of the same year. In 2019, he managed to run the 100m in a time of 9.90s. He also won the 4 × 100 metres relay at the 2019 World Relays.

He is the son of a former sprinter who represented Brazil in the 1980s.[2]

He began to stand out by participating in the team from Brazil that won the 2019 World Relays, held in Yokohama, Japan, with the mark of 38.05. At the 2019 Summer University in Naples, Italy, he won two gold medals in the 100m and 200m sprints. He won the 100m with the 10.09 mark.[3]

In 2016 his best mark in the 100m was 10.26, evolving to 10.18 in 2017. On September 14, 2018, he obtained the 10.02 mark for the first time, the 2nd best mark in the history of Brazil in the 100m, second only to Robson Caetano, with 10.00. He repeated the 10.02 time in April 2019.[4]

At the 2019 Pan American Games, held in Lima, Peru, he won the silver medal in the 100m, event that Brazil has not won a medal since 1999, and gold in Brazil's 4 × 100 m relay.[5][6]

In August 2019, at the Troféu Brasil de Atletismo, he won the 100m with the 9.90 mark, which was just not validated as a new South American Record because it was obtained with a wind of +3.2 m/s (the limit is + 2 m/s).[7]

In late September 2019, he went to the World Athletics Championship in Doha, Qatar, where he won his 100m heat with a mark of 10.11. The last time a Brazilian had gone to a semifinal in this event, was in Gothenburg 1995. He was just 0.03s from qualifying for the final: he finished 12th overall, with the mark of 10.14 in the semis, while the 8th and last classified for the final got 10.12.[8][9][10]

He qualified to represent Brazil at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[11][12]
