}} Braian Ezequiel Toledo (born 8 September 1993) is an Argentine javelin thrower who has improved the World Youth Best in boys' javelin throw by more than six meters. He won the inaugural javelin title at the 2010 Youth Olympics in Singapore and also won gold at the 2010 South American Youth Championships and 2009 Pan American Junior Championships. On 2011 Braian protagonized a publicitary spot for the campaign of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in the presidential elections. And on 2012 he participated, along with others Olympic athletes, in a campaign of Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo to recover the grandchildren that were robbed during the National Reorganization Process. ==Youth career== Born and raised in Marcos Paz, Braian Toledo grew up in a small one-bedroomed house with his mother and two younger brothers. Athletics coach Gustavo Osorio gave a class at Toledo's school and invited him to join with his training group. Initially focused on football – the most prominent and potentially profitable sport in Argentina – Toledo took the decision to focus solely on track and field instead at the age of twelve.〔Biscayart, Eduardo (2011-01-07).

This was enough to win him the bronze against boys a year older, just 56 centimetres from gold.〔 After that his results improved extremely rapidly.〔 In July he took the silver medal at the 2009 South American Junior Championships in Athletics and then won the gold medal in the 2009 Pan American Junior Athletics Championships, throwing a new age-15 world best of 69.84m with the men's 800 gram implement.〔〔Biscayart, Eduardo (2009-07-27).
