Jucilene Sales de Lima (born 14 September 1990) is a Brazilian athlete specialising in the javelin throw.[1] She represented her country at the 2013 World Championships without qualifying for the final. In addition, she has won multiple medals on regional level, including the bronze at the 2015 Pan American Games. She competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[2]
Participating in the 2023 World Athletics Championships, held in Budapest, she became the first Brazilian in history to reach the final of the javelin throw event. In the final (where 12 competitors participated), after performing 3 launches, she was in 6th place, with a mark of 60.34 meters, ranking among the 8 that would continue competing and would make 3 more launches. She didn't improve her mark in the 3 final launches, finishing in 8th place, the best position in the history of Brazil in this event in World Championships.[3]
Her personal best in the event is 62.89 metres set in São Paulo in 2014. This is the current national record.
