Abstract

The Olympic Charter requires that, to participate in an edition of the Olympic Games, an athlete must be linked to an Olympic Committee, and must be a native of that locality. Something apparently simple, but it becomes an important element in times of high mobility and movement of people. Although not being a recent phenomenon, the increase in the number of naturalized athletes in the last Olympic editions commands the attention of managers and other persons involved with the sport. This study, based on theoretical review and data on the participation of athletes who were not born in Brazil and represented the country at the Olympic Games, discusses the concept of sports nationality and its dialogue with state nationality throughout history, emphasizing that it is a theme with great relevance today.
