After the family moved to [Canada](/source/Canada) in 1992, Hortelano was raised in [Burlington, Ontario](/source/Burlington%2C_Ontario). His sports interests varied from taekwondo, soccer and, in high school, American football. He was a member of the Burlington Track Club and also competed at high school venues initially contesting the 100 m and later the 110 m hurdles. From 2005 to 2009, he attended [Assumption Catholic Secondary School](/source/Assumption_Catholic_Secondary_School). He was twice named the most valuable sprinter. Hortelano was a finalist in the 100 m at 10.76 in the 2009 OFSSA Provincial Championships, Toronto. That fall, Hortelano was enrolled at [Cornell University](/source/Cornell_University) in [Ithaca, New York](/source/Ithaca%2C_New_York), where he competed in the [Ivy League](/source/Ivy_League); a genetics major, he graduated in 2014.[2] He represented Spain in the [200 metres](/source/200_metres) at the [2013 World Championships](/source/2013_World_Championships_in_Athletics), reaching the semifinals after setting a new [Spanish record](/source/List_of_Spanish_records_in_athletics) of 20.47 in the heats. At the [2016 European Championships](/source/2016_European_Championships_in_Athletics), he won the gold medal after setting a new [Spanish record](/source/List_of_Spanish_records_in_athletics) of 20.39 in the semifinals. Later in 2016, at the [Summer Olympics](/source/2016_Summer_Olympics) in Rio, Hortelano again broke his own national record in the Men's 200 m with a time of 20.12, but failed to qualify for the final. On 5 September 2016 Hortelano suffered a "catastrophic hand injury" in a drunk driving car accident in Madrid,[4] but made a full recovery with the exception of partial use of his right hand and in 2018 he established a new national record in the 200 and 400 metres.[5] Hortelano announced his retirement in May 2025.[6] ## International competitions Year Competition Venue Position Event Notes Representing Spain 2010 World Junior Championships Moncton, Canada 21st (h) 200 m 21.51[n 1] 2011 European U23 Championships Ostrava, Czech Republic 16th (h) 100 m 10.74 2012 European Championships Helsinki, Finland 18th (sf) 200 m 21.35 9th (h) 4 × 100 m relay 39.81 2013 European U23 Championships Tampere, Finland 5th 200 m 20.70 3rd 4 × 100 m relay 38.87 5th 4 × 400 m relay 3:05.28 World Championships Moscow, Russia 16th (sf) 200 m 20.55 9th (h) 4 × 100 m relay 38.46 2016 World Indoor Championships Portland, United States 15th (sf) 60 m 6.63 Ibero-American Championships Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 2nd 200 m 20.48 4th 4 × 100 m relay 39.28 European Championships Amsterdam, Netherlands 4th 100 m 10.12 1st 200 m 20.45 Olympic Games Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 10th (sf) 200 m 20.12 2018 European Championships Berlin, Germany 4th 200 m 20.05 3rd 4 × 400 m relay 3:00.78 2022 World Indoor Championships Belgrade, Serbia 8th (sf) 400 m 46.76 2nd 4 × 400 m relay 3:06.82 1. **[^](#cite_ref-7)** Did not start in the semifinals ## Personal bests **Outdoor** - [100 metres](/source/100_metres) – 10.06 (+1.0 m/s, Madrid 2016; [NR](/source/List_of_Spanish_records_in_athletics)) - [200 metres](/source/200_metres) – 20.04 (+0.8 m/s, Getafe 2018; NR) - [400 metres](/source/400_metres) – 44.69 (Madrid 2018; NR) **Indoor** - [60 metres](/source/60_metres) – 6.63 (Portland 2016) - [200 metres](/source/200_metres) – 20.75 (Albuquerque 2014) - [400 metres](/source/400_metres) – 47.04 (Hanover, New Hampshire 2014) ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-RFEA_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-RFEA_1-1) ["RFEA profile"](https://web.archive.org/web/20170314141331/http://www.rfea.es/sirfea/ficheros/personas/almacen/hortelanobruno.pdf) (PDF).
