	Joaquim Cruz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joaquim Carvalho Cruz (born March 12, 1963) is a former Brazilian athlete, winner of the 800 m at the 1984 Summer Olympics.
		Cruz was born in Taguatinga, near Brasília, as the son of a steel worker.
		Due to a cold, Cruz did not start in the semi-finals of the Olympic 1500 m, which caused quite a stir among the Brazilians, who thought he didn't want to represent his country in an event in which his chances of winning were smaller.

		Later that year Cruz represented the Americas in the 800m at the World Cup in Rome, where, in his first major international competition against senior athletes, he finished 6th to world record holder Sebastian Coe (Great Britain).
		Following a victory in the 800m at the 1983 USA National Collegiate Championships in Houston on 3 June, Cruz embarked on a quite successful season in Europe, where he achieved victories at Oslo on 9 July in a new personal best of 1min 44.03sec, and at Nice on 18 July in 1min 44.32sec.
		Cruz surrendered the lead at the bell, but stayed in contention, briefly regaining the lead approaching the home straight, before fading to a third place finish in 1min 44.27sec.

		Joaquim Cruz had been a promising 800m runner before he enrolled at the University of Oregon in 1983, setting a world junior record in 1981.
		Cruz was simply devastating in the 800m at the Olympics Games in Los Angeles that year, winning his heat (1min 45.66sec), his quarter-final (1min 44.84sec), and his semi-final (1min 43.82sec) on consecutive days.
		The four hard races must have taken their toll on Joaquim, as he contracted a head cold, and had to withdraw from the semi-finals of the 1500m after winning his heat.

		Luiz de Oliveira has been involved in international athletics during all or part of four decades, and although the sport’s horizons have changed markedly since those formative years in his native Brazil, the fundamental goal of crossing the finish line ahead of everyone else has remained unaltered.
		And as the coach moved northward to join his athlete during Cruz’s years at the University of Oregon, numerous others from Brazil—including two-time World Championships 800 metres medallist José Luiz Barbosa—joined his US-based training group, which also came to include some American runners.
		The Brazilian admits that the perseverance which was a trait of his former successes Cruz and Barbosa is something that is hard to find today.

		It has withstood all manner of assaults, the closest before last night coming from the 1984 Olympic champion, Joaquim Cruz of Brazil, who ran 1-41.77 in Cologne the same year.
		Only three athletes have ever broken 1-42 - Coe, Cruz and Wilson Kipketer, who equalled the record last night after hinting many times over the last year that it is just a matter of time before he usurps Coe.
		But on the crucial third segment, Coe took control and was timed at 75 seconds for 600 metres - Cruz's comparable times were 49.41 and 75.9, while Kipketer in Rieti ran 49.7 behind a 49.05 pace but went through 600 metres in 76.1 having believed that the record was beyond his grasp.
