In July 2023, participating in the South American Games in São Paulo, Cardoso was the first Brazilian in history to run the 100 m under 10 seconds. He clocked a time of 9.97, breaking the Brazilian record for the event.[3]
In July 2025, during South American qualifying for the 100-metres event at the 2025 World Athletics Championships, Cardoso broke the South American record, with a run of 9.93 seconds. The fastest time ever recorded in South America was 9.89 by Issamade Assinga of Suriname, but he lost the record due to a doping suspension.[4]
In August 2025, he achieved a time of 9.88 s in the 100 m, which was not validated as a South American record due to the wind of 3.4, above the permitted limit.[5]
