Venezuela qualified six boxers for the Olympic boxing tournament. Manzanilla and Blanco were the first to qualify, earning spots at the 2007 World Championships. Bermúdez, Sánchez, and González qualified at the first American qualifying tournament. Payares was the last to qualify, doing so at the second qualifier.

The team's record in Beijing was 3-6, with only Héctor Manzanilla winning more than one bout. Both Manzanilla and Alfonso Blanco made the quarterfinals, but neither managed to win their bout.

Both Venezuelan boats progressed to the semifinals, but finished last and did not advance to the final.

The top finish from a Venezuelan road racer was the 30th place from Jackson Rodríguez in the men's race. Neither woman managed to finish within ten minutes of the leader.

Venezuela sent former cruiser (22") world champion Jonathan Suárez to compete in BMX. He finished 8th in seeding, but finished 8th in the first of three quarterfinal races and could not advance.

Ramón Fumadó was in position to qualify for the semifinals after the first two dives, but fell behind and finished ten points short.

Venezuela sent a seven-person fencing team to Beijing, but they combined to win just two matches. Considering the team included the #1 ranked men's épée fencer, Silvio Fernández, this was somewhat of a disappointment. Fernandez won his opening match, but then lost to a Hungarian opponent in the second round. The other win came from the men's épée team, who lost their quarterfinal, but won a placement match against Korea before ending up in 6th place overall.

Venezuela sent two gymnasts to Beijing, with José Luis Fuentes managing to make the final in both the men's all-around and pommel horse events. Fuentes finished last of the finalists in the pommel horse final and 22nd of 24 in the all-around final. Jessica Lopez did not advance to a final.
