Open-knowledge reference entry
Joaquín "Kini" Carrasco Ávila (born 16 January 1965) is a Spanish politician and former parathlete.
Carrasco played basketball for Cáceres CB until he lost his left arm in a traffic accident in 1985. He then took up para-athletics and competed in the 100 metres at the Summer Paralympic Games in 1988, 1992 and 2000. He then switched to long-distance running, including the paratriathlon that was introduced in 2009.

Sporting career
Carrasco was born in Cáceres in Extremadura. He played basketball for Cáceres CB, making the first team by age 16 and playing in the second division. On 30 January 1985, he was riding a dirt bike to Malpartida de Cáceres to go fishing, when he was hit by an overtaking car, losing his left arm instantly. A nurse was driving by and made a tourniquet from Carrasco's coat before driving him to hospital, fully conscious.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q138654664. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1965, 1985, 1988 and 1992.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
