Joaquín Blume

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joaquín Blume (June 21, 1933 – April 29, 1959) was a Spanish gymnast. Born in Barcelona, he competed in the 1952 Summer Olympics of Helsinki, and was a favourite for the 1956 Summer Olympics of Melbourne, until Spain boycotted the games in protest against the presence of the USSR, after their brutal suppression of the Hungarian Revolution.

He died in a plane crash in the mountains in Cuenca.
