Jansel Rafael Ramírez Feliz (born September 25, 1983 in Santo Domingo) is an amateur Dominican Republic Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the men's featherweight category.[1] Considered one of the Caribbean's top Greco-Roman wrestlers in his decade, Ramirez has claimed two bronze medals in the 55 and 60-kg division at the Pan American Games (2007 and 2011), and also represented the Dominican Republic at the 2004 Summer Olympics.[2][3] Ramirez is also a member of the wrestling club for the Dominican Republic National Team, under his personal coach and mentor Alexis Camué.[4]
Ramirez qualified as a lone wrestler for the Dominican Republic squad in the men's 55 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by receiving a wild card invitation from the International Federation of Associated Wrestling (FILA).[5][6] He lost two straight matches, one to Japan's Masatoshi Toyota due to the ten–point superiority limit, and the other to Hungarian wrestler and eventual winner István Majoros with a 5–0 decision, leaving Ramirez on the bottom of the pool and placing last out of twenty-two wrestlers in the final standings.[7]
