Arsenio Chirinos

In 1954 Venezuelan cyclist Arsenio Chirinos won gold in the road race at the Central American and Caribbean Games along with silver in the 4,000 metres team pursuit on the track. These results earned Chirinos a place on the Olympic team for the 1956 Games in Melbourne, with him competing in the same two events, but failing to replicate his previous success. Four years later he returned to the Olympics for the Roma Games, riding in both the individual road race and the 100 kilometres team time trial, alongside his younger brother Víctor in the latter. In 1966 Chirinos made one more appearance at the Central American and Caribbean Games, winning silver in the 4,000 metres team pursuit.
