Veteran powerlifter Juan Carlos Garrido from Chile has enjoyed recent success all over the world. In 2019 the 41-year-old won a bronze medal at the World Championship in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
One month later, in August, Garrido became Parapan American Games champion in Lima for the second time in a row after winning the same accolade in Toronto 2015.
Garrido kicked off last year with a win at the Manchester World Cup in February in Great Britain. When things started to shape up well for him in the build-up to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, the world was struck by the COVID-19 pandemic. But it did not stop the Chilean star.
