Juan Jacinto
Olympic judoka
Juan Carlos Jacinto Jiménez (born July 2, 1978) is a Dominican judoka, who competed for the extra and half lightweight categories. He won the bronze medal for the 60 kg class at the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Background
Jacinto made his official debut for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he competed in the men's 60 kg class. He lost the first preliminary match to Algeria's Omar Rebahi, who successfully scored a single yuko within the five-minute period.
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Jacinto switched to a heavier class by competing in the men's half-heavyweight division, despite weighing 68 kilograms. He lost again in his first preliminary match to Kazakhstan's Muratbek Kipshakbayev this time, by a waza-ari (half-point) and a sukui nage (double leg takedown).
Beijing Olympics
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Jacinto competed for the second time in the men's 66 kg class. He received a bye for the second preliminary match, before losing out by an automatic ippon to Japan's Masato Uchishiba, who eventually won a gold medal in this event. Unlike his two previous Olympic games, Jacinto offered another shot for the bronze medal by entering the repechage rounds. He was defeated in his first match by Iran's Arash Miresmaeili, who successfully scored a yuko and a koka before the five-minute period had ended.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Juan Jacinto” as olympic judoka. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as olympic judoka. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6300054. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1978, 1999, 2000 and 2004.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
