Career
At the 2019 Pan American Games held in Lima, Ygor achieved his greatest title, winning the gold medal. It was the country's first gold in the sport at the Pan American Games. [8]
Ygor obtained the silver medal in the Pan Am Male Cup in the Acapulco 2022 and São Paulo 2024 editions. [9][10]
At the Pan Am Mixed Team Championships, he won silver in Campinas 2016, in Santo Domingo 2017, and bronze in Guadalajara 2023.[11][12][13]
At the Pan American Badminton Championships, in singles, he was two-time champion in the Havana 2017 and Guatemala 2018 editions, and obtained bronze in the San Salvador 2022, Kingston 2023 and Guatemala 2024 editions. [14][15][16][17][18]
At the Badminton World Championships, Ygor's best result was obtained in Nanjing 2018, when he defeated Indian Prannoy H. S., 11th seed of the tournament and former top 10 in the world, thus reaching the Round of 16, the best result in Brazil's history.[19]
At the 2020 Olympic Games, Ygor managed to win one game in the group stage, but failed to qualify for the round of 16. He was, however, the first Brazilian to win a badminton match at the Olympic Games. [20]
