Antônio Tenório da Silva (born 24 October 1970)[1] is a Brazilian judoka. As a child, he lost the vision in his left eye from an accident while playing with a slingshot. Six years later, an infection claimed the vision in his right eye, leaving him completely blind at the age of 19.[2]
He has participated in six Summer Paralympics and has won 4 golds,1 silver and a 1 bronze. With his win at the 2008 Games, he became the first person to win four consecutive Paralympic gold medals in judo.[3]
