Arthur Nory Oyakawa Mariano (born 18 September 1993) is a Brazilian artistic gymnast and a member of the Brazilian national team. He participated in the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, placing fourth in the horizontal bar and 12th all-around.[5][6] He won the bronze medal in floor exercise at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[7] He is the 2019 World Champion on horizontal bar.[8]

Early life

Mariano was born in 1993, in Campinas, to a Brazilian father and a Japanese Brazilian mother.[9] He practiced judo in a club as a child, following his father's footsteps. Mariano changed his mind after watching a gymnastics class.[10]

After his parents' divorce, Mariano moved with his mother to São Paulo, where he entered in a gymnastics team in another club. When he was eleven, Mariano joined Esporte Clube Pinheiros. Mariano won the Brazilian Child Gymnastics Championship when he was fourteen.[10]

Controversy

In 2015, Mariano and fellow gymnasts Felipe Arakawa and Henrique Flores were suspended from the Brazilian national team for a month, after publishing a Snapchat video in which they made racist jokes addressed at another teammate, Afro-Brazilian gymnast Ângelo Assumpção.[11]

Mariano published another video apologizing for the incident. After his teammate had won the bronze medal at 2016 Olympics, Assumpção said: "I don't keep a grudge on him. We are close friends. I am very proud of Nory. I just hope he behaves like a medal winner outside the arena too."[citation needed]

Modeling career

Besides being a professional gymnast, Mariano is also an internationally signed model.[12] In 2019, Mariano is the face of Philippine-based international clothing brand BENCH's men's wear campaign in Brazil and Latin America.[12][13][14]

Personal life

On October 28, 2021, Mariano revealed in an Instagram post that he is in a relationship with broadcast media marketing analyst João Otávio Tasso.[15][16][17]
