Early swimming

Satori was born in Americana, Brazil, Sao Paulo, to Tatiane and Glauber Sartori. As he matured as a swimmer, he trained and competed primarily for Sao Paulo's Natacao Americana Swim Club and was coached by Fabio Cremonez as part of the Brazilian National Team. [1] At the age of 16, participating in the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, he won a silver medal in the Boys' 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay. [4] He also finished 6th at the Boys' 200 metre freestyle. [5] At the age of 17, he won a bronze medal in the 200 metre freestyle at the 2019 FINA World Junior Swimming Championships. [6]

University of Louisville

He competed and trained in college for the University of Louisville from around 2021-2025 under Head Coach Arthur Albiero, though he had competed in the 2020 Olympics as an underclassman. At Louisville, he was a business major. As a Louisville Senior at the NCAA Championships in Indianapolis, he captured All-American honors in the 200 free, with a time of 1:32.18 and again earned All-American honors in the 800 freestyle relay with a seventh place finish after his team recorded a combined time of 6:08.32. He earned honorable mention All-American honors in the 400 free relay with a 15th place finish, recording a combined time of 2:48.55. [7] [1]

Olympics, 2020-2024

He competed in the men's 200 metre freestyle at the 2020 Summer Olympics at age 19, finishing in 24th place with a time of 1:47.11, around three seconds behind bronze medalist and teamate Fernando Scheffer of Brazil. [8] He recorded a time of 1:47.11, finishing in 24th place overall. [9] At the 2020 Olympics, Sartori also competed in the Men's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay final, making the final heat and finishing in 8th place with a combined team time of 7:08.22. [2] [1]

He qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympic team for Brazil where he swam the leadoff on the 4x200M Relay and set a personal split of 1:48.56 as Brazil recorded a combined time of 7:10.26 in the preliminary heats. [1] [10] [11]

World championships 2021-2022

At the 2021 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in the Men's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay, the Brazilian relay, composed of Sartori, Fernando Scheffer, Kaique Alves and Breno Correia, again obtained a medal, now bronze, maintaining the good performance of 2018, when Brazil won the gold beating the world record. [12] [13] [14] He also finished 10th in the Men's 200 metre freestyle. [15]

At the 2022 World Aquatics Championships held in Budapest, Hungary, in the men's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay event, the Brazilian team, composed by Sartori, Fernando Scheffer, Vinicius Assunção and Breno Correia, broke the South American record twice, first in the heats, and then in the finals, setting the record time of 7:04.69 and obtaining an unprecedented fourth place in the long-distance World Championships. The Brazilian team were unable to medal as a result of the exceptional performance of British team member Tom Dean who closed rapidly while swimming as anchor for the British team. [16]
