He reached only into the quarterfinal round, where he lost to France's Yves-Matthieu Dafreville, who was able to score an ippon before the match stopped in the fifth minute.[2] Santos offered another shot for the bronze medal through the repechage bout; however, he finished only in seventh place, losing to Switzerland's Sergei Aschwanden by a superiority decision from the judges.[3]
