Despite a disappointing performance in Rio 2016, Robert Scheidt will go down as one of the greatest sailors in the history of the sport. Sailing in both the Laser and Star categories during his long and illustrious Olympic career, Scheidt accumulated 5 medals across 6 Olympic Games.
He won the Laser gold in Atlanta 1996 as well as Athens 2004, the Laser silver in Sydney 2000, the Star silver in Beijing 2008 and finally the Star bronze in London 2012. Despite not winning a medal in Rio, he remains one Brazil’s most successful Olympians of all time.
The 43-year-old is at the tail-end of his career and is unlikely to return in Tokyo 2020.
