Ana Smerlyn Rosa García (born on 2 December 1997) is a judoka from the Dominican Republic. She has competed in several international judo tournaments,[1] most notably the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, where she won the gold medal in the 57 kg division.

Pan American Games

García represented her native Dominican Republic at the 2019 Pan American Games held in Lima, Peru. She advanced to her division's finals but originally lost to Brazilian competitor Rafaela Silva; Silva was, however, later found to have used fenoterol, an anabolic, during the competition and was disqualified by Pan Am Sports, the Pan Am Games' organizing association, and the gold medal was therefore transferred to García.[2]

García joined Estefania Soriano and Wander Mateo as judo gold medalists from the Dominican Republic at the Pan American Games competition level.[3]
