Fernanda de Goeij (born November 11, 2000, in Curitiba) is a Brazilian swimmer.[1][2]

International career

[edit]

She started swimming in the butterfly style, but a back problem prevented her from following the training in that style. She changed to a swim that gave her national titles and the vacancies in the Brazilian National Team.[3]

At the 2018 South American Games in Cochabamba, she won a gold medal in the 4 × 100 m medley, and two silver medals in the 100m and 200m backstroke.[4]

At the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics held in Buenos Aires, she won a silver medal in the girls' 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay.[5] It was the first time that a Brazil's women's relay won a swimming medal on a world level.[6] She also finished 4th in the girls' 4 × 100 metre medley relay,[7] 5th in the girls' 50 metre backstroke,[8] 9th in the girls' 100 metre backstroke,[9] 11th in the girls' 200 metre backstroke[10] and 12th in the mixed 4 × 100 metre medley relay.[11]

At just 18 years old, she went to the 2019 Pan American Games held in Lima, Peru, where, in the Women's 200 metre backstroke, she broke the South American record, with a time of 2:11.95, finishing 4th.[12][13] In the women's 4 × 100 metre medley relay, she won a bronze medal, by participating in the heats.[14] She also finished 5th in the women's 100 metre backstroke[15] and 7th in the women's 400 metre individual medley.[16]
