BWF profile

Osleni Guerrero Velazco (born October 18, 1989 in Havana) is a male Cuban badminton player. He is the first Cuban badminton player to win a medal in the Pan American Games.[2] He won a bronze medal in the Mens' Singles event at the 2015 Pan Am Games losing the semi-final to Canadian Andrew D'Souza.[3] In the 2011 Pan American Games he made history, reaching the final and a silver Pan Am Games medal for Cuba at badminton for the first time. He eventually lost that final to first seeded Kevin Cordón of Guatemala with 13-21, 19-21.

He competed in 2014 and 2015 BWF World Championships. Guerrero is a member of the Cuban national badminton team since 2005. He twice won the continental Pan American Badminton Championship. First in 2013 [4] at Santo Domingo,[5] beating first seeded American Sattawat Pongnairat 17-21, 21-6, 21-16 in a close 51 minutes final. Then in 2014 at the Markham[6] venue he successfully defended his Pan American badminton title, this time beating another American Bjorn Seguin in another close fought final of 58 minutes with 19-21, 21-14, 21-13.[7] Osleni Guerrero won many events in the Pan American Badminton circuit.[8][9][10][11][12]
