Félix Sánchez, a two-time Olympic champion, has successfully transitioned from a legendary athlete to a prominent track and field coach. His coaching career reached a significant milestone at the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games (JCC) in Santo Domingo, where his protégé Yeral Núñez secured a gold medal in the 400-meter hurdles, the same event in which Sánchez earned his own athletic fame.

This victory follows Sánchez's previous success as a coach, which includes guiding the Dominican Republic's mixed 4x400-meter relay team to an Olympic medal at the Tokyo Games. These accomplishments underscore his ongoing impact on the sport and his effectiveness in developing elite-level talent.
