Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

Price represented Argentina at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's 800 metres. He ran in the second heat against six other competitors, including Sudan's Abubaker Kaki, who was a heavy favorite and a possible top medal contender in this event. He finished the race in sixth place by three fourths of a second (0.75) behind Slovakia's Jozef Repcìk, with a time of 1:49.39. Price, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as he placed fifty-first overall and was ranked farther below two mandatory slots for the next round.[2]
