Kiss was a last-minute replacement in the Hungarian team for the 2008 Olympics after the sudden death of two-time Olympic champion György Kolonics while he was preparing for his fifth Olympics. He teamed up with Kolonics's former partner György Kozmann a mere one month before the games, and in Beijing, exceeding expectations, the pair finished in third place in the C-2 1000 m final.
