Olympic Games Career

Amarilis first competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona for Cuba at the 1992 Summer Olympics. She competed in the women's extra lightweight category and finished third and won the bronze medal.

Four years later, Amarilis competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Her first bout was in the round of 16 against Algeria's Salima Souakri, the fifth-place finisher from the previous games. Amarilis won this bout to progress to her quarterfinals bout against Hillary Wolf of the United States and won once again. Amarilis lost her semifinals bout against eventual silver medal winner Ryoko Tamura but Amarilis went through to the repechage rounds for the bronze medals. Amarilis qualified straight for the bronze medal bout and was eventually paired against Sarah Nichilo from France. Amarilis won this bout and won another bronze medal.

At 2000 in Sydney, Amarilis didn't medal, she won her first bout against Laura Manuela Moise from Romania but lost her next bout in the quarterfinals to the silver medal winner from Russia, Lyubov Bruletova.

She won her first repechage bout against Victoria Dunn of Great Britain but lost her next bout to Belgium's bronze medal winner Ann Simons and didn't go through to the bronze medal bout.

2004 was Amarilis' last Olympics that she competed at and she won her last Olympic medal of her Olympic career. Her first bout was against Sweden's Sanna Askelöf and she won by a dominant 1000-0000. She won her second bout in the round of 16 was against Lee Eun-hee from South Korea and won dominantly once again 1010-0000.
