Saturnino Rustrián Cáceres (29 November 1942 – 14 July 2013)[1] was a Guatemalan road racing cyclist who won the second and fourth editions of the annual Vuelta a Costa Rica in 1966 and 1968 and the 10th edition of the Vuelta a Guatemala in 1966.[2]
Born in San José Pinula,[1] he was the first local cyclist to win the Vuelta a Guatemala while competing against participants from Colombia, who had dominated the event in previous years.[3] He is one of three cyclists to have won the Vuelta a Costa Rica twice, since the competition began in 1965.[4]
Rustrián represented Guatemala at the 1968 Olympic Games cycling competitions, ranking 21st and 22nd in the individual road race and time trial events respectively.[1]
Nicknamed el Chapín de Acero ("Guatemala man of steel"),[5] he was a road cyclist for over four decades,[6] and as of 2005, at over 60 years of age, has remained active, competing in several local and international "master" races.[7]
