Biography
Leyanet González Calero (born 30 September 1978) is a Cuban former artistic gymnast who competed in the 2004 Summer Olympics. She is one of only five female gymnasts to return to international competition after having a child, along with Larisa Latynina, Oksana Chusovitina, Suzanne Harmes, and Aliya Mustafina.
At the 2004 Olympics, at the age of 25, González finished 22nd in the all-around.
She has one eponymous skill, an uneven bars mount. It involves a round-off back handspring onto the low bar through a handstand position. In the 2013–2016 Code of Points, it is a D skill.
González is now retired from gymnastics and lives in Cancún, Mexico.
