Chacon represented Venezuela at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's featherweight category (53 kg).

Her performance in weightlifting was also a top finish for Venezuela at these games. Shortly after the Olympics, she had briefly retired from  weightlifting because of pregnancy. On October 27, 2009, Chacon died from pregnancy-related complications, including the H1N1 flu virus in her birthplace Caracas. According to Eddy Suarez, president of Venezuelan Weightlifting Federation, he regretted the sudden demise of Chacon, who would have been admitted to the hospital immediately for further treatment and speedy recovery. Following her death, the doctors managed to save her daughter from infection, and placed her in a special care.
