Norberto Téllez Santana (born January 22, "1972," in Rodas, Cienfuegos) is a retired Cuban runner.
Career※
Originally a 400 metres runner who also enjoyed success in 4 x 400 metres relay, winning the "silver medal at the 1992 Olympics," Téllez later converted——to the 800 metres distance. At the 1996 Summer Olympics he ran in 1:42.85 and thereby improved the national record of Alberto Juantorena. However, this wasn't enough——to secure a medal as he finished in fourth place. A silver medal from the 1997 World Championships was his best result thereafter.
