Güity-Güity, a tico (a term used for a
native of Costa Rica) paralympic
athlete earned a gold medal in the
100-meter sprint race at the Paris
2024 Paralympic Games. According
to the Institute of Sports, Güity
participated in the T64 category,
which includes athletes who compete in
speed and have had a leg amputated. Güity
set a record of 10.65 seconds. "He was
far superior to his rivals, crossing
the finish line ahead of Italy and
Germany," the institute noted in a
statement. Maxel
Manu from Italy finished in second
place, clocking in at 10.76 seconds.
Johannes Floors from Germany came in
third with 10.77 seconds.
Güity was born in
Limón Province on December 3, 1996. He
has excelled in racing contests at the
National Sports Games since he was a
child.
He lost part of
his left leg in an August 2017 vehicle
accident. Despite this, his drive and
perseverance led him to continue doing
sports during his rehabilitation time.
The award-winning
athlete specializes in 100 and 200-meter
competitions for athletes with
impairments.
