A cyclist from Almería has competed against the best and has proven his worth at the 2024 Paralympic Games.

Almeria-born cyclist Pablo Jaramillo won the silver medal in the team sprint event at the 2024 Paralympic Games, just one step away from Great Britain.

The Spanish team, made up of Jaramillo, Alfonso Cabello and Ricardo Ten, exceeded expectations by reaching the final and finishing second, surpassing their bronze medal at the Tokyo Paralympic Games.

At 47, Jaramillo competed in his second Paralympic Games, contributing to Almeria’s fourth medal this summer, proving himself to be an elite athlete and representing his province and nation in a world-class display of skill.
