Bustos was selected to be one of the thirty-six athletes to participate in the men's modern pentathlon. During the competition, Bustos performed disastrously at the initial stages, with fair scores in a one-touch épée fencing, and 200 m freestyle swimming, but maintained his pace for the tenth position in horse-riding and newly combined running and laser shooting. After completing all the segments, Bustos finished eighteenth in the men's event at his first Olympics.
He competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Modern Pentathlon BUSTOS Esteban|url=https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/modern-pentathlon/athlete-profile-n1303400-bustos-esteban.htm|url-status=dead|access-date=2021-08-29|work=Tokyo 2020 Olympics|publisher=Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games|language=en-us|archive-date=2021-08-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210829020657/https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/modern-pentathlon/athlete-profile-n1303400-bustos-esteban.htm}}</ref>
