Mahau Camargo Suguimati (born November 13, 1984, in

Sao Paulo, with an A-standard time of 49.15 seconds.[5] He ran in the first heat of the men's 400 m hurdles, against six other athletes, including Bershawn Jackson of the United States, who eventually won the bronze medal in the final. He finished the race in third place by a quarter second margin (0.25) behind Jackson, and twenty-one hundredths of a second behind South Africa's Pieter de Villiers, with a time of 49.45 seconds.
