2004 Athens Olympics
In his first Olympic appearance, Benoît Caranobe placed 19th in the men's all around competition and helped the French men's team to a 9th-place finish in the team qualification, though not enough to make the team finals.[2]
2008 Beijing Olympics
Caranobe qualified to the all around finals in tenth place, 2.950 points behind the leader Yang Wei.[3] In the all-around finals, Caranobe finished in third place, ahead of medal favorites Hiroyuki Tomita, Fabian Hambüchen, and Yang Tae-Young.[4] His third-place finish is particularly surprising given that Benoît had placed only third at the French National Gymnastics championships,[2] and his overall score was only 0.050 behind silver medalist, legendary Kohei Uchimura of Japan.
Later life
Caranobe retired from competition in 2013. He is the owner of a wine shop in Noisy-le-Grand near Paris and also works as an acrobat at the Moulin Rouge cabaret.[5]
