Guilherme Oliveira also known as Gui (born 8 January 1985) is a Brazilian handball player (left guard) who competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics, [1] where Brazil finished eleventh.
Born in Goiania and the son of an agricultural aircraft pilot, Guilherme discovered handball at school when he was 12 years old. His teacher, who was a handball coach at the time, believed in the boy's potential and invited him to train with the juniors at a club. He soon began to play the sport professionally, and at the age of 16, he moved from Goiânia to São Paulo. [2]
He was scouted during a competition outside his state and caught the attention of Guarulhos, a team he stayed with until 2003.
In 2007 he participated in the World Championship and the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, when the team won the gold medal.
