Origin
and identity

Nalbert Bitencourt's passing, defending and leadership helped Brazil assemble its early-century collection of major titles.

Youth and junior world championships preceded the senior title in 2002. His all-round contribution gave Brazil more than the points shown against one name on a scoresheet.

After recovering from shoulder surgery, he joined the Athens team that won Olympic gold. The world championship, World Cup and Olympic sequence remains central to his national-team legacy.
