Horacio Esteves
Horacio E. Esteves Orihuela Yaritagua, Yaracuy (6 July 1941 – 26 July 1996) was a Venezuelan sprinter who jointly held the 100 metres world record at 10.0s from 1964 to 1968. His record time was run on 15 August 1964 at the Estadio Nacional de "El Paraíso" in Caracas (now Brígido Iriarte Stadium), matching the time set by Armin Hary in 1960 and Harry Jerome in 1962. He was also a record holder in the 100-yard dash, at 9.2s. He reached the semi-finals in the 100m at the 1960 Olympics, and the same year competed in the heats for Venezuela in the 4 X 100 m relay. A muscle strain prevented him from going to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. He did not go beyond the heats in the 1968 Olympics 100m. Esteves competed in the 4×100 metres Relay at the 1963 Pan American Games winning a silver medal with Arquímedes Herrera, Héctor Thomas, and Rafael Romero. He finished fourth in the 100 meters at the 1963 Pan American Games. He went to high school at the Aplicación Lyceum and Luis Espelozín schools. He received a degree in physical education from the Instituto Pedagógico de Caracas (now part of the Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador. He did an MA in science, specializing in Planning and Nutrition, and then studied physiology of exercise at the Universidad de Los Andes and growth and development at the Universidad Simón Bolívar.
