Braian Ezequiel Toledo[2] (8 September 1993 – 26 February 2020)[3][4][5] was an Argentine javelin thrower who improved the World Youth Best in boys' javelin throw by more than six metres.[6][note 1]
He won the inaugural javelin title at the 2010 Youth Olympics in Singapore and also won gold at the 2010 South American Youth Championships and 2009 Pan American Junior Championships.
In 2011 Braian protagonized a publicity spot for the campaign of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in the presidential elections.[8] In 2012 he participated, along with other Olympic athletes, in a campaign of Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo to recover the grandchildren who were robbed during the National Reorganization Process.[9]
Since November 2016 he had Kari Ihalainen as coach and in April 2017 he moved to Kuortane, Finland, with the aim of improving his performance in view of the 2020 Olympic Games.[10][11]
On 26 February 2020, Toledo died in a motorcycle accident.[12] Among those to pay tribute to the athlete were Diego Maradona and the president of the Argentine Olympic Committee, Gerardo Werthein.[13]
