José Gregorio Camacho Lascarro (born April 26, 1983 in Barinas) is a Venezuelan judoka, who played for the middleweight category.[1] He is a two-time Olympian, a three-time medalist at the Pan American Judo Championships, and a bronze medalist for his division at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[2][3]

Camacho made his official debut for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he lost the first preliminary match of men's middleweight class (90 kg), with an ippon and a kuchiki-taoshi (single leg takedown), to Argentina's Eduardo Costa.

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Camacho competed for the second time in men's 90 kg class. Unlike his previous Olympics, Camacho defeated Ukraine's Valentyn Grekov in the first preliminary round, before losing out his next match, with an ippon and a tomoe nage (circle throw) to Pan American judo champion Eduardo Santos of Brazil.[4]
