Sherman Isidro Guity Guity (born 3 December 1996)[2] is a Costa Rican Paralympic athlete. He competes in the disability category of T64, specializing in the 100 metres and 200 metres sprints. He won the silver medal in the men's 100 metres T64 event at the 2020 Summer Paralympics held in Tokyo, Japan,[3] becoming the first competitor representing Costa Rica at the Paralympics to win a medal. He has gone on to win multiple sprint titles and is the current paralympic record holder for both the 100m and 200m T64 events.

Personal life

[edit]

On 25 August 2017, at the age of 20, Guity suffered a life-altering motorcycle accident which led to the amputation of his left leg below the knee.[4] Costa Rican media later noted that, while recovering at the hospital, Guity promised that he would become "the best Paralympic athlete."[5][6]

On 11 November 2019, Guity was suspended by the IPC for 2 years for a non-intentional anti-doping violation after the substance Clostebol was found in an out of competition test used to treat a scar from a wound.[7]

His sporting hero is Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt.[8]

During the 2024 Paris Summer Paralympics, Guity established himself as a world-class athlete by winning the men's 100 metres T64, achieving his second paralympic gold medal and first in the 100m sprint.[10] He went on to win gold in the men's 200 metres T64 defending his Paralympic title and accomplishing the sprint double.[11]
