Rondon emerged himself into the global scene at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where he pinned Colombia's Edison Hurtado on his final match to take home the gold medal in the men's welterweight division.[2][3] Despite his early success from the Games, Rondon continued to reach the summit of the world rankings at the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in New York City, United States, but nearly missed out the podium after he lost the bronze medal match against Japan's Kazuhiko Ikematsu.
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Rondon qualified for the Cuban team in the men's 66 kg class by receiving a berth and placing fourth from the World Championships.[4][5] He lost his opening match to Ukraine's Elbrus Tedeyev, who later claimed an Olympic gold at the end of the tournament, but managed to subdue Georgia's Otar Tushishvili with a ten-point technical fall, that left his opponent frail and injured. Finishing second in the prelim pool and ninth overall in the final standings, Rondon's performance was not enough to put him through into the quarterfinals.[6]
