Darisleydis Amador Rodríguez (born January 1, 1988 in Matanzas) is a Cuban sprint canoeist.[1][2] She won a silver medal in the women's K-1 200 metres at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico by thirty-seven thousandths of a second (0.037) behind winner Carrie Johnson of the United States, with a time of 41.840 seconds.[3][4]
Amador represented Cuba at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where she competed only in two individual sprint kayak events. For her first event, the women's K-1 500 metres, Amador paddled to a seventh-place finish in the semi-final rounds, but fell short in her bid for the final by approximately four seconds behind Canada's Émilie Fournel, with a time of 1:58.762.[5] In the first ever women's K-1 200 metres, Amador finished fourth and twelfth overall in the B-final by twenty-five thousandths of a second (0.025) behind Serbia's Nikolina Moldovan, attaining her best Olympic time of 45.099 seconds.[6]
