Domenech qualified for the French squad in the men's long jump at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by successfully jumping an Olympic A-standard of 8.28 m from the Lyon-Parilly Athletics Meet in Vénissieux.[2][3] During the prelims, Domenech spanned his opening legal jump at 7.56 m, until he smoothly extended it to 7.73 m on his second attempt. Since his third leap produced a cautious foul, Domenech finished only in twenty-eighth out of forty-one athletes, and did not advance past the qualifying round.[4]
