At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, de Almeida competed for the men's 400 metres this time, as an individual athlete. He ran in the third heat against seven other athletes, including Costa Rica's Nery Brenes and Nigeria's James Godday. He finished the race in fifth place by approximately one sixth of a second (0.16) ahead of Zimbabwe's Lewis Banda, with a time of 46.60 seconds. De Almeida, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as he placed forty-sixth overall and was ranked below three mandatory slots for the next round.
