Biography
Antonio competed in three Paralympics, winning a total of seven medals including four golds. His first games were his home games in 1992 in Barcelona where he won a bronze medal in the 1500m; a silver in the 800m in which Poland's Waldemar Kikolsji broke the games record; the 400m winning a second silver; and the 4 × 400 m relay, winning a gold as part of the world record breaking Spanish team. He competed in three events in Atlanta in 1996 where he was undefeated, winning gold medals as part of the Spanish 4 × 400 m relay team, in the 1500m and leading a Spanish 1,2,3 in the 800m. Unfortunately he only competed in the 400m at the 2000 Summer Paralympics and finished fourth in his heat and failed to make the final.
