[[Ramon Fumado]] badly missed his first dive of the semifinal, a forward 1½ somersault in the pike position, scoring an average of around 3.0 points. A dive in the 8.0s would have put him very close to qualifying for the final.

No woman or martial artist had ever won an Olympic medal for Venezuela, but [[Adriana Carmona]] changed all that by winning bronze in the Over 67&nbsp;kg division. Carmona lost a close quarterfinal to the eventual gold medal winner, but fought her way through the repechage before handily beating her Brazilian opponent to claim bronze. The only other match win from the Venezuelan taekwondo team was from another woman, [[Dalia Contreras]].

===Weightlifting===

[[Israel José Rubio]] won Venezuela's first ever medal in weightlifting by virtue of his lower body weight (61.38&nbsp;kg), after he tied with [[Armenia at the 2004 Summer Olympics|Armenia]]'s [[Armen Ghazaryan (weightlifter)|Armen Ghazaryan]] in total weight lifted. Rubio was 5th after the Snatch, but made his lift of 162.5&nbsp;kg in the Clean & Jerk, while [[Indonesia at the 2004 Summer Olympics|Indonesia]]'s [[Gustar Junantio]] failed two attempts at that mark, and Ghazaryan skipped it entirely, then missed twice at 170.0&nbsp;kg. At 94&nbsp;kg, [[Julio César Luña]] would have finished third in the Clean & Jerk alone, but struggling in the Snatch had already cost him a shot at a medal. [[Octavio Mejías]] missed only one lift in the 77&nbsp;kg division, but his weights were nowhere near those of the leaders.
