The decision came because Brazil used only Olympic events to choose their team for the meet. The fifties of stroke will be contested at the World Championships, but have yet to be added to the Olympic program.<\/p>\n<p>Since the announcement in April, Santos <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/zumo-performance-of-the-week-39-year-old-nicholas-santos-breaks-brazilian-south-american-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blasted a 22.60 50 butterfly<\/a> at the Budapest FINA Champions Swim Series.\u00a0The 39-year old won the race in a new Brazilian and South American record.

In this way, we would very much like Mr. Santos, taking into account, of course, the FINA Rules on the number of A &amp; B swimmers.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The request also states that finances for Santos&#8217; trip will be contributed by FINA and his sponsors as a professional athlete. The announcement added that the country had an opening in the event after <strong>Gabriel Santos<\/strong> chose to focus on the 100 free and 400 freestyle relay over the 50 butterfly.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the CBDA has accepted the request and Santos will compete in the 50-meter butterfly at the 2019 FINA World Aquatics Championships.
