Objectives: This article is an evidence-based case study that presented the international results of male artistic gymnastics athletes contemplated by the Bolsa Atleta Podio and sought relationships with the scholarship categories they received throughout their sports career, to define questions and hypotheses that assist in the evaluation of the referred Program. Methodology/Approach: From the documentary analysis, nine gymnasts contemplated between the years 2014 and 2020 were identified. To collect data on the results of the gymnasts, we sought the best positions of the athletes in the main international competitions. Originality/Relevance: Bolsa-Atleta is the main national public policy for direct funding to athletes, but the scientific production that evaluates the results of the Program, based on evidence, is low. Main results: From this investigation, we may state that: out of a total of nine athletes, two did not participate in the Olympic Games and/or World Championships; the international results of the gymnasts, as well as the scholarship categories they were in, oscillate; the Olympic medalists (Diego Hypolito, Arthur Zanetti, and Arthur Mariano) were benefiting from the Podio category at the time of this accomplishment. Theoretical and methodological contributions: It is presented that the male artistic gymnastics athletes have maintained a certain permanence as beneficiaries of the Program Bolsa-Atleta. In specific, the category Podio is established as a kind of bonus to the athlete, however, it can assist the athlete in achieving good results in international competitions.
