Gonzalez qualified for men's 200 m butterfly at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by claiming the title and clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:00.82 from the Latin Cup in Serravalle, San Marino.[4][5] He challenged seven other swimmers on the second heat, including Olympic veterans Vladan Marković of Serbia, James Walsh of the Philippines, and Donny Utomo of Indonesia.
