Roger Madruga (born 1964 in Rio de Janeiro [1] ) is a Brazilian former international freestyle and medley swimmer. He is the younger brother of Djan Madruga. [2]
He competed at the 1979 Pan American Games in San Juan, where he finished 12th in the 400-metre individual medley, and 16th in both the 400-metre freestyle and the 1500-metre freestyle. [3]
He participated at the 1982 World Aquatics Championships in Guayaquil, where he finished 8th in the 400-metre individual medley final, and 17th in the 1500-metre freestyle. [4] The conditions were adverse in Ecuador. Ricardo Prado gave a statement to a Brazilian newspaper, describing the situation: "The hotel we stayed at was not well attended. It was directly across the Guayaquil bus station. I managed to reach the final of the 200-metre individual medley, but I was weak because food there was terrible, and finished the race in eighth place." Prado landed at home with gold in the neck and a big mycosis in the belly. Djan Madruga had worse luck: he contracted typhoid. [5]
At the 1983 Summer Universiade in Edmonton, he finished 6th in the 400-metre individual medley. [6]
