Career history
Monterola, who has cerebral palsy, was inspired to take up parasport by his cousin Keisa, who was an international pole vaulter. He missed the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing due to an injury, but competed at the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships in Christchurch. At the World Championships he entered both the 100m and 200m sprints in the T37 category, but did not achieve a podium finish. He finished the year by representing Venezuela at the 2011 Parapan American Games in Guadalajara, where he dominated his field winning the gold in all three sprint events, the 100m, 200m and 400m.
In 2012 he competed at his first Summer Paralympics, in London. He qualified for both the 100m and 200m T37 sprints as well as the T38 400m event. He qualified through the heats in all three events, but failed to finish the 400m and was disqualified form the 100m.

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 26, 2026.
