Asnoldo Vicente Devonish Romero[1] (June 15, 1932 – January 1, 1997) was a Venezuelan track and field athlete who won the first Olympic medal for his native country.
At the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, he finished third in the Men's Triple Jump Final, with a distance of 15 metres and 52 centimetres, behind Adhemar da Silva (Brazil) and Leonid Shcherbakov (Soviet Union).[2]
In 1990, he was awarded the Olympic Order by the IOC for particularly distinguished contributions to the Olympic Movement.[3]
His death, after 18 months of illness, was mourned nationally, and his funeral was attended by president Rafael Caldera, who called him “a great Venezuelan”.
