He won the most medals of anyone in Pan Am history, but said he didn&#8217;t feel great in the water, and needed to find the energy for faster swims at the world championships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt (Pan American Games) was an important meet for Brazil,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was an important meet for me. I was trying to make something for the history for my country, for the whole Pan Ams. I had to put my mind back in the game and get here to world champs and fight to get on the podium.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As happy as he is with the place and the time, bigger goals lie ahead on the road to Rio, where the field in the final will likely include competitors who missed the world championships for various reasons. <strong>Michael Phelps<\/strong> withdrew after a DUI arrest and <strong>Kosuke Hagino<\/strong> stayed home to recover from a broken elbow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely want to try to get \u2026 under 1:56,\u201d he said. \u201cI made all my objectives. All my turns were good, especially the last turn. I couldn\u2019t keep up until the end with Ryan, but I still have a whole year to focus on the Olympics in my country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pereira is the elder statesman on a rising Brazilian team that looks to be in prime form when the Olympics begins in one year. Pereira remembers being the one looking up to the former Brazilian greats such as <strong>Gustavo Borges<\/strong> and <strong>Fernando Scherer<\/strong>. Now, swimmers such as Brandonn Almeida are looking to Pereira to be their mentor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe (Almeida) showed me a picture when he was really young, and I was (in the picture),\u201d Pereira said. \u201cIt feels good because I know that I motivate him, and he\u2019s having the opportunity to represent Brazil with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pereira said the silver medal is motivating for him, and it will help him train harder for the rare opportunity to compete in a home Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019ll be great to have the Olympics at home,\u201d he said. \u201cI could say that I was special to have the opportunity to swim at the Pan Ams in Brazil. I\u2019m going to have the opportunity to swim at the Olympics, and not many athletes have the chance to say that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thiago Pereira has been a part of the 200 IM final at the world championships since 2007.
