Quito, October 24
Ecuadorian sprinter Alex Quiñónez was fatally shot in the port city of Guayaquil, the police said on Saturday.
Quiñónez, who was 32, became a national hero in 2012 when he reached the 200-metre final at the London Games, finishing seventh in a race won by Usain Bolt.
And then in 2019 he became the first Ecuadorian athlete to win a global medal in a track event when he finished third at the World Championships in Doha. — AP
