Crescimbeni competed as Peru's lone male swimmer in the 200 m butterfly at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[3] He scored a ninth-place time in 2:01.09 to clear the FINA B-cut (2:01.80) at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[4] Swimming in heat one, Crescimbeni held off a hard-charging Javier Hernández Maradiaga of Honduras by a tenth of a second (0.1) to snatch the third spot in 2:02.13. Crescimbeni failed to advance to the semifinals, as he placed forty-first overall in the prelims.[5][6]
