Francisco Gómez Hechavarría (born 7 February 1957) is a Cuban sprinter and long jumper. He competed in the men's 100 metres at the 1976 Summer Olympics.[1]
At the 1974 Central American and Caribbean Games, Gómez won the bronze medal in the long jump.[2]
At the 1976 Olympics, Gómez accused Olympic gold medalist Alberto Juantorena of sabotaging the Cuban national team by putting talcum powder on their beds in the Olympic village, a claim that Juantorena did not deny.[3] The prank caused sprinter Silvio Leonard to trip and fall on glass requiring stitches, but for accusing Juantorena, the Cuban national team disciplined Gómez by leaving him in Montreal.[4]
Gómez Hechavarría is from the Palma Soriano city of Cuba.[5]
