Higor Silva Alves (born February 23, 1994) is a Brazilian long jumper.[1] A member of the host nation's track and field squad at the 2016 Summer Olympics, Alves registered his best jump at 8.19 m from the Brazilian Championships in São Paulo a month before the Games.[2]
Alves competed for the host nation Brazil in the men's long jump at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Leading up to his maiden Games, he obtained a mark of 8.19 m to successfully earn the national title and clear the IAAF Olympic entry standard (8.15) by four centimetres.[2][3] In the qualifying phase, Alves spanned his opening legal jump at 7.59 m, but fouled in the succeeding two attempts that saw him tumble down the leaderboard, finishing in twenty-eighth place from a field of thirty-two athletes.[4][5]
