Jasmin Figueroa entered the Olympics ranked outside the top 100 in the world, but pulled off a major upset in the opening round, just barely holding off #9 Natalia Valeeva. In the second round, Figueroa fell behind, and while she rallied back to within two points, could not get closer.

Taekwondo [edit]

The Philippines' best performance at the Athens Games came from Taekwondo, as Mary Antoinette Rivero just survived her first match, then won her quarterfinal handily to reach the semifinals, one match short of a medal. In the semifinal, she fell behind early, and while she managed to make it close, could not catch all the way up. A decisive loss in her repechage match ended her chances of a bronze medal, but her tie for fifth place was the closest any Filipino athlete came to a medal.
