Lucimar Aparecida de Moura (born March 22, 1974 in Timóteo ) is a Brazilian athlete . In the 2000s she was the dominant short-distance sprinter in South America. In her time as a junior, she also competed in the long jump and pentathlon before she later specialized in the sprint.

Athletic career

De Moura's successes span nearly two decades; especially at the South American Championships she was able to win numerous gold medals. In 2007, in front of a home crowd in São Paulo , she succeeded for the first time in securing the gold triple in the continental competitions - victories in both the 100 and 200 meters and with the 4 x 100 meter relay .

On a global level, she first appeared in 1992 when she took part in the Junior World Championships in Seoul over 100 meters , but was eliminated there in the second round (= intermediate runs / quarter-finals). In the meantime, de Moura has competed in five senior world championships in the course of her sports career . On her debut in 1997 in Athens she reached the second lap over 100 meters, but was eliminated with the relay in the run-up - the quartet set a new Brazilian national record with 43.89 seconds. In 1999 in Seville , she ran both over 100 and 200 meters into the quarter-finals. It was not until six years later that she started again in the global championships and reached the semifinals in Helsinki in 2005 over both sprint distances. She was even more successful as a member of the season, which made it to the finals and finished fifth there. In Japanese Osaka she came in 2007 not in the 100-meter race on the second round out; the season also failed in the preliminary stages. The latter was able to repeat its placement from 2005 at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin ; in the individual competition, however, de Moura was eliminated in the interim like two years earlier. She has also represented her country at two Summer Olympics so far . In 2004 in Athens she was eliminated over 200 meters in the second round and with the relay in the preliminary run. Four years later in Beijing , she competed over 100 meters and again did not get beyond the intermediate runs. The relay races were much more successful. The quartet reached the final and initially landed in fourth place. On August 17, 2016, the Russian runners Julia Schermoschanskaja , Evgenia Polyakowa , Alexandra Fedoriwa and Julia Guschtschina were stripped of the gold medal in the 4 x 100 meter relay because of doping. The medals of Belgium (now gold), Nigeria (now silver) and Brazil (now bronze) have been gradually adjusted.
