Oscar Cardenas (born August 11, 1982 in Havana) is a Cuban judoka, who played for the half-middleweight category.[1] He is a two-time national judo champion, and also, a bronze medalist for his respective category at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Cardenas qualified for the men's half-middleweight class (81 kg) at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, after claiming a bronze medal at the Pan American Qualifying Tournament in Miami, Florida.[2] He defeated Anthony Rodriguez of France, with a waza-ari (half-score point), in the first preliminary match, but lost his next match a few hours later, to Portugal's João Neto, who automatically scored an ippon at one minute and twenty-five seconds.[3]
