Zegarra represented Peru at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's heavyweight class (+100 kg). He defeated Argentina's Sandro López in the second preliminary round, before losing out his next match, by an ippon and a yoko shiho gatame, to Cuban judoka and Pan American Games champion Óscar Brayson.[3] Because his opponent advanced further into the semi-finals, Zegarra offered another shot for the bronze medal by entering the repechage rounds. Unfortunately, he was defeated in the first repechage bout by Lebanon's Rudy Hachache, who successfully scored a waza-ari awasete ippon (two full points) and a soto makikomi (outer wraparound), at one minute and fifty-five seconds.[4]
