At the 2022 World Aquatics Championships held in Budapest, Hungary, in the men's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay event, the Brazilian team, composed by Sartori, Fernando Scheffer, Vinicius Assunção and Breno Correia, broke the South American record twice, first in the heats, and then in the finals, setting the record time of 7:04.69 and obtaining an unprecedented fourth place in the long-distance World Championships. The Brazilian team were unable to medal as a result of the exceptional performance of British team member Tom Dean who closed rapidly while swimming as anchor for the British team.[https://swimswam.com/brazil-sets-south-american-record-in-mens-4x200-fr-korea-breaks-national-record/ Brazil Sets South American Record in Men’s 4×200 FR; Korea Breaks National Record]
