[edit]

Juantorena was born in Santiago de Cuba. He is a nephew of Alberto Juantorena, a Cuban former track runner and politician. Osmany Juantorena and his wife Glenda became first time parents on May 3, 2013 with the arrival of their first baby daughter named Victoria.

Career

[edit]

Clubs

[edit]

He started his junior career as 12 years old in the Orientales de Santiago. After several years in Cuba, he moved to his first professional club in the Russian league – Ural Ufa – but in November 2006 he received a two-year ban for doping.[6][7] He agreed to move to Italian club Itas Diatec Trentino when the suspension ended, but the move was obstructed by the Cuban authorities (he was still under their jurisdiction, having moved to Russia with permission rather than defected like some compatriots) and his absence continued across a third year into 2009.[8]

He had immediate success upon resuming his career with Trentino, winning the gold medal at the CEV Champions League twice (2009/10, 2010/11) and the bronze medal in 2012,[9] four gold medals in the FIVB Volleyball Men's Club World Championship (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012),[10] one gold medal (2010/11) and two silver (2009/10, 2011/12) in the Italian Championship, and two Italian Cups (2010, 2012). In May 2010 he had a short loan in Qatar, returning to Trentino in September of that year where he agreed a contract extension and obtained Italian citizenship.[11] In 2012/13 he won another domestic Cup and League Championship.

After moving to Halkbank Ankara in 2013, Juantorena helped the team achieve the Turkish SuperCup and the title of Turkish champion. Another SuperCup followed in 2014. In April 2015, he announced that he would continue his career with Cucine Lube Civitanova.[12]

National Team

[edit]

Juantorena first stormed the international stage from 2003 up to 2006 with Cuba; he won a bronze medal at the 2005 FIVB World League.[13] Juantorena joined the Italy national team in 2015, claiming a European championship bronze and FIVB World Cup silver medal in the same year. He had a hugely positive impact on Italy's attacking prowess going into the 2016 Summer Olympics, his first such tournament, and the team claimed the silver medal.[14]
