The radial rapporteur Osvaldo Turco Wehbe suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and is admitted to intensive care at the Sud Regional Clinic in Río Cuarto . He is sedated, stable, and recovering, according to the medical report this afternoon.
As reported by the Cadena 3 site , the renowned sports narrator decompensated around 23 on Sunday after suffering a spike in blood pressure, which forced his immediate intervention.
El Turco , 63, is a criminal lawyer but his passion for journalism and the story over time was stronger. He started in an agency in Córdoba and in 1977, in a 1-River 0 Workshops, he made changing rooms and a playing field for the transmission of José María Muñoz in "La Oral Deportiva", on Radio Rivadavia. He continued making connections for a while, and then it was time for him to report at an Instituto-San Lorenzo in 1980.
In any case, according to "La Voz", he had already had his baptism in the stories for a radio in Córdoba on May 16, 1979, in a match in which Boca beat Peñarol de Montevideo 1-0 for the first date of the semifinal phase of the Copa Libertadores de América.
That day, in La Bombonera, the riocuartense gave free rein to their lungs to narrate the goal of Armando Capurro, a defender with little arrival at goal, but that night he defeated Jorge Fossati to give Xeneize the victory .
From that moment to the present day, he reported hundreds of games. In Córdoba, his native province, he worked for years in "Cadena 3", where he recounted the encounters of the Cordovan teams and the matches of the Argentine National Team.
Together with Víctor Brizuela, he formed an unforgettable duo with whom they traveled throughout the country and the world to narrate soccer games.
