Guido triumphed at the ISL grand finale in Las Vegas, where he competed for the London Roar swimming team. He won the men’s 50 meter backstroke and the men’s 100 meter backstroke races respectively.
Earlier in the ISL season, Guido had set the second-fastest time in the history of the men’s 50 meter backstroke (22.55 seconds), where he set a new Brazilian and South American record. His time was only second-best in history to French swimmer Florent Manaudou (22.22 seconds).
Particularly impressive about Guido is that he has grown tremendously as an athlete over the years, and he can be a dark horse in the backstroke races at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Guido has everything it takes to succeed, and he is certainly the “One to Watch.”
