Aguiar didn't fight for 8 months after winning the world title, until she entered the 2015 Pan American Judo Championships and became five-time champion of the tournament.[35] At the 2015 Pan American Games, she won a silver medal.[36] In November, she also won the silver medal at the 2015 Judo Grand Slam Abu Dhabi.[37]

In February 2016, Aguiar won the gold medal at the 2016 Judo Grand Slam Paris, becoming two-time champion of this tournament and defeating the American Kayla Harrison, her biggest rival in the category, by ippon in the final. It was the second time she won the French Grand Slam defeating Harrison.

2016 Summer Olympics

[edit]

With Brazil hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics and Aguiar's recent triumphs, she was the favorite to win the gold.[41] A difficult semi-final against Tcheuméo, where Aguiar was kept scoreless and was defeated on penalties, sent her again to the bronze match, which Aguiar won, giving her a second Olympic medal.[42][43]

2017–2021

[edit]
Aguiar at the 2018 World Judo Championships.

After the 2016 Olympic Games, Mayra took a period of time to rest and focus on training. She returned in June 2017, winning the 2017 Judo Grand Prix Cancún in Mexico. In her second competition of the year, the 2017 World Judo Championships, she defeated two Japanese in a row to become two-time world champion.[44] This year, she also won bronze in the 2017 Judo Grand Slam Abu Dhabi.[45]

In March 2018, she had reached the podium in the two competitions she had competed in that year: in February, she took silver at the 2018 Judo Grand Slam Düsseldorf, and in March, she took bronze at the 2018 Judo Grand Slam Ekaterinburg, occupying second place in the world rankings at that time.[46] When she won silver in the 2018 Judo Grand Prix Hohhot, she was already the leader of the world rankings again.[47] In 2018 she even won silver in the 2018 Judo Grand Prix Cancún.[48]

After the return of world sports competitions, Mayra achieved great results in 2022. In April, at 2022 Pan American-Oceania Judo Championships, she became seven-time champion of the tournament.[57] She obtained the silver of the 2022 Judo Grand Slam Tbilisi in june,[58] the bronze of the 2022 Judo Grand Slam Budapest[59] and the bronze of the 2022 Judo Grand Prix Zagreb, in july.[60] In October 2022, she made history by becoming the first Brazilian three-time judo world champion, at the 2022 World Judo Championships. In the quarter-finals, she defeated German Alina Boehm, current European champion. In the semifinals, she defeated Hamada Shori, the current Olympic champion, by ippon. The gold was won against Chinese Zhenzhao Ma.[61] And, at the end of the year, when she was 2nd in the world rankings in her category, she won a bronze in the 2022 Judo World Masters in Jerusalem, thus returning to the lead in the world rankings.[62][63]

After the 2022 Masters, Aguiar was away from competition for nine months, to rest and treat minor injuries. She returned in September 2023, at the Pan American Judo Championship. At the 2023 Pan American-Oceania Judo Championships, held in Calgary, Canada, she became eight-time champion of the competition.[64][65] Still in September, she was a bronze medalist at the 2023 Judo Grand Slam Baku,[66] and in December, she secured an unprecedented gold for Brazilian judo by winning the 2023 Judo Grand Slam Tokyo.
