Maurren Higa Maggi (born 25 June 1976) is a Brazilian retired track and field athlete and Olympic gold medallist om the long jump.[1] She is the South American record holder in the 100 metres hurdles and long jump, with 12.71 seconds and 7.26 metres respectively. She also has a best of 14.53 metres in the triple jump – a former South American record. She is the first Brazilian woman to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual sport.

Maurren served a two-year ban from 2003 to 2004 for an unintentional anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for clostebol.[2] Although the Brazil's Superior Sports Tribunal had cleared her of the violation, the IAAF appealed the decision and Maurren was issued with the sanction.[3]

Maggi won the gold medal in the women's long jump at the 2008 Beijing Olympics with a distance of 7.04m, becoming the first Brazilian woman to achieve an Olympic gold in an individual sport.[4]

She finished second at the 2009 Troféu Brasil Caixa de Atletismo to Keila Costa, losing the event for the first time since 1998.[5]

Maurren was married to racer Antônio Pizzonia, with whom she has a daughter, Sophia.
