Guillermo Cabrera González (born February 28, 1982) is a Dominican Republic former swimmer, who specialized in backstroke events.[1] Cabrera competed only in the men's 200 m backstroke at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, as the Dominican Republic's first ever swimmer in Olympic history.[2] He posted a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:07.17 from the Caribbean Islands Swimming Championships in Oranjestad, Aruba.[3] He challenged five other swimmers in heat one, including Hong Kong's Alex Fong, who later became one of city's most popular singers. He raced to fourth place by a 2.75-second deficit behind winner Fong in 2:08.22. Cabrera failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-first overall in the prelims.[4]
