Izaskun Osés Ayúcar

Izaskun Osés Ayúcar is a blind Spanish Paralympic athlete who competes in middle-distance running events at international level. According to her English Wikipedia article she was born on 11 May 1985, and she won a bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, where Spain took the podium in the women's 1500 metres for athletes with a visual impairment. The article describes her as a competitor in para athletics, the Paralympic form of track and field, and notes that her eyesight condition worsened over time. She trained as a nurse, earning a nursing degree at the Public University of Navarra, and worked as an intensive care nurse in a Navarra hospital until her vision made that impossible, after which she concentrated on training full time. Her record shows how an athlete can move from a clinical career to the Paralympic podium.
