Bartasek qualified for her Aussie team in the women's welterweight class (67 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing third and granting a berth from the Asian Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Bangkok, Thailand. She lost her opening match to Guatemala's Heidy Juárez with a score of 7–0. With Juarez losing her next bout to the local favorite Elisavet Mystakidou of Greece, Bartasek denied her chance to compete for an Olympic medal through the repechage.
