Arciprete competed only in the men's 200 m individual medley at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He achieved a FINA B-cut of 2:07.52 from the Argentine Long Course Nationals in Buenos Aires.[4] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including Kazakhstan's 29-year-old Grigoriy Matuzkov. Coming out strongly from a breaststroke leg, Arciprete faded shortly on the final lap to a fifth seed in 2:08.89, just 3.44 seconds behind winner Matuzkov. Arciprete failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-fifth overall in the prelims.[3][5][6]
