Evelyn Carolina de Oliveira dos Santos (born 11 April 1985 in Rio De Janeiro) is a Brazilian track and field athlete who competes in sprinting events.[ 1]

Career

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she competed in the Women's 200 metres. She has a personal best of 11.16 in the 100 metres, and a personal best of 22.76 in the 200 metres.

At London, the Brazilian 4x100m relay women team, composed by Ana Cláudia Lemos, Franciela Krasucki, Evelyn dos Santos and Rosângela Santos broke the South American record in the qualifying of the race, with a time of 42.55, and went to the final in sixth place.[1] In the final, the Brazilian relay did 42.91 and finished 7th.[2]

At the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, the team composed by Ana Cláudia Lemos, Evelyn dos Santos, Franciela Krasucki and Rosângela Santos broke the South American record in the semifinals of the women's 4x100m metres relay, with a time of 42.29 seconds.[3] But, strangely and without official explanation, the CBAT (Brazilian Athletics Confederation) held a bizarre athlete change to the final, putting Vanda Gomes (who had never run the relay) instead of Rosangela Santos, to close the race. In the final, Brazil came second, almost tied with Jamaica and with great possibility to win the silver medal, and knock the South American record when, at the last bat exchange, Vanda, who had been placed "in fire" in a World Championships final and without sufficient training to receive the baton, eventually leaving the baton fall.[4]
