Rodrigo Pimentel Bastos (born July 4, 1967 in Guarapuava) is a Brazilian sport shooter.[2] He represented his nation Brazil in two editions of the Olympic Games (1988 and 2004), and also picked up a silver medal in men's trap at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.[1][3]
Bastos made his official debut at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, where he shared a fortieth spot with Chinese shooter Gao E in the mixed trap, accumulating a total score of 137 clay pigeons.[4] On that same year, Bastos scored 24 hits to pocket the gold medal at the ISSF World Cup series in Mexico City, Mexico.[1]
Sixteen years after his first Olympics, Bastos qualified for his second Brazilian squad, as a 37-year-old, in the men's trap at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Earlier in the process, he placed second behind U.S. sport shooter Lance Bade by a single point difference from the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, ending a 15-year medal drought of his sporting career.[3][5] He scored 117 out of 125 targets to obtain a fourteenth spot in the prelims, tying his record with four other shooters.[6][7]
At the 2014 ISSF World Shooting Championships in Granada, Spain, Bastos delivered an astonishing record in the nation's sporting history with a fifth-place finish in the men's trap. With his nation hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Bastos is expected to compete on his third Olympic bid.[8]
