    Libania Grenot Martinez (born 12 July 1983) is a Cuban-born Italian former[3] athlete specialising in the 400 metres. Two times European champion (2014, 2016), she holds the Italian records in the 200 and 400 metres.[4]

    Biography[edit]

    Born in Santiago de Cuba on 12 July 1983, Grenot started running at the age of 9. In 2003-05, she was a Cuban champion in the 400 metres. In 2006, she married an Italian man and relocated to Casal Palocco, a XXXIV zone of Rome.[5]

    Grenot acquired Italian citizenship in 2008, and that same year, she broke an Italian record in the 400 meters with a time of 51.05 s and then 50.83 seconds.[5] The latter performance took place at the Beijing Olympics during the semi-final, but despite this effort she did not reach the final.[6] In 2009, she won a gold medal in the distance at the XVI Mediterranean Games with a time of 50.30 s, a new Italian record.[7]

    In 2014, she won a gold medal in the 400 metres at the European Championships, becoming the first Italian woman to win an international track title since 1938.[8] Grenot repeated this achievement two years later.
