Paralympics

Pámpano competed at three consecutive Paralympic Games: 2004, 2008 and 2012. At the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens, he was part of Spanish 4 × 400 m relay; at the same games, he won a silver medal in the T36 1500meter event. He competed in the 800m in the 2008 Summer Paralympics but was unable to medal in it. There was a budget of €12,000 to cover his trip to and time at the Beijing Games with some of the money coming from sponsor Marca Extremadura. Prior to and after the Games, he had access to counseling. As a thirty-one-year-old, he participated at the 2012 Summer Paralympics and finished sixth in the 800 meter race. He qualified for the London Games after meeting the qualifying standards at Spanish national championships in Basauri in the Basque region of Spain. Despite meeting the B standard with a time of 2:19.86, there was some question of his eligibility as 27 total athletes had qualified with only 24 available spots. He was one of three athletes from the Extremadura region to represent Spain at the 2012 Games. Upon his return from London, there was a ceremony presided over by José Antonio Monago, the governor of Extremadura. Over the course of his Paralympic career, his coach said other countries Paralympic movements became more professional while Spain remained at the same level, which was a bit of a detriment to Pámpano.
