Arthur Nory Oyakawa Mariano (born 18 September 1993) is a Brazilian artistic gymnast and a member of the Brazilian national team. He is a three-time Olympian, having represented Brazil at the 2016, 2020, and 2024 Olympic Games. He is the 2016 Olympic bronze medalist on floor exercise as well as the 2019 World Champion and 2022 World bronze medalist on horizontal bar.

Early life

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

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. 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."

Modeling career

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