At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Godet qualified for the French squad, along with his teammate Thomas Allier, in men's BMX cycling at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by finishing fifth from the UCI World Championships in Taiyuan, China and by receiving one of the nation's two available berths from the Union Cycliste Internationale based on his top-ten performance in the BMX World Rankings. Although he was not considered a top medal favorite, Godet surprisingly grabbed the third seed on the morning session in 36.008, and then continued to mount top-four finishes in his quarterfinal and semifinal heats. When the final round had occurred two days later, Godet, along with South Africa's Sifiso Nhlapo, was crashed out into the track curve with a vigorous fall, and consequently failed to complete the race.
