Career

Queiroz was at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, finishing in 5th place in the Boys' Greco-Roman 92 kg category.[3]

At the 2021 Pan American Wrestling Championships held in Guatemala City, he won a bronze medal in the 97 kg category.[4]

A month after winning bronze in the adult Pan American Wrestling Championships, Queiroz was champion of the 2021 Junior Pan American Games.[5][6][7] As a result, he directly qualified to compete in the 97 kg event at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile.[8]

Queiroz made his World Championship debut at the 2022 World Wrestling Championships, facing Turkish Metehan Basar. He started ahead, but suffered a 1–1 draw in the first round. The Turk scored again and Igor continued in search of the point that would give him a draw and victory. But Basar prevented the Brazilian's attempts and won 2–1. In the next round, Basar was beaten 3-1 by the Armenian Artur Aleksanian and prevented Igor from returning to the repechage.[9]

At the 2022 South American Games, he won a silver medal in the 97 kg category.[10]

At the 2022 U23 World Wrestling Championships, Queiroz reached the semifinals, but was defeated twice in a row, and finished fifth in the Greco-Roman style up to 97 kg category, achieving Brazil's best result in this style considering all the World Championships.[11]

At the 2023 Pan American Wrestling Championships held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Queiroz won a bronze medal in the 97 kg category. The Brazilian, who had won the bronze medal in 2021, won the second senior class medal of his career.[12][13]

At the 2023 World Wrestling Championships, Queiroz, number 30 in the world ranking, debuted against world runner-up Rustam Assakalov and ended up being eliminated in the first round.[14]
