José Eugenio Vásquez de Jesús (born March 5, 1979 in Santo Domingo) is a judoka from the Dominican Republic, who competed in the men's heavyweight category.[1] He picked up a total of fifteen medals in his career, including a bronze from the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, attained a fifth-place finish in the 100-kg division at the 2003 Pan American Games in his native Santo Domingo, and represented his nation Dominican Republic in both 100 and over-100 kg class in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004).[2][3]
Vasquez made his official debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he competed in the men's over-100 kg division.[4] He lost his opening match to Kazakhstan's Vyacheslav Berduta, who immediately pushed him down the tatami using the small outer hook (kosoto gake) to produce an ippon victory inside 37 seconds.[5]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Vasquez reduced his weight to 100 kg, and qualified for his second Dominican Republic squad in the men's half-heavyweight category, by granting an unused berth from the International Judo Federation and the Dominican Republic Olympic Committee (Spanish: Comité Olímpico Dominicano).[3][6] Vasquez could not improve his feat from the previous Games, as he conceded with a penalty and succumbed to an ippon and a tani otoshi (valley drop) from Finland's Timo Peltola before the five-minute regulation expired during their opening match.[7]
