At the 2022 South American Games held in Asunción, Paraguay, Augusto won a bronze medal in the ‍–‍60 kg category. [6]

At the 2024 World Judo Championships, he won two fights (in one of them, defeating the last European champion, Balabay Aghaye (5th in the world)), thus reaching the round of 16, and guaranteeing his qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games.[11]
