ATHLETE PROFILE

Adiaratou was born in Bamako, Mali, in 1999.

In 2010, she left the country as a consequence of local superstitions surrounding albino people, and moved to Logroño, where her brother and his wife lived. She suffers from albinism, which gives her 10% of vision that by wearing glasses can be reduced to approximately 20%.

Adiaratou, due to alleged abuse at home, was placed in an orphanage where she stayed for 2 years until she was adopted and moved to Lugo with her adoptive family.

She won two silver medals at the 2019 World Adapted Athletics Championships. In addition, holds the Spanish record in the 100m in the T12 category, achieving a time of 12.42 seconds during the Grand Prix of Athletics in Grosseto, and again lowered that time at the World Championships in Dubai, where she was runner-up with a time of 11.99.

Adiaratou represented Spain at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, winning the gold medal in the 100m T13 class and the silver medal in the 400m T13.
