At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Taveter had been offered an invitational place from the International Sailing Federation to compete on his second Estonian team in the men's Finn class.[5][6] Taveter recorded a net grade of 221 to round out the fleet of twenty-five sailors in last place, trailing Italy's Michele Marchesini in the overall standings by a twenty-point margin.[7]
