Latrous made her official debut for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where she lost the first preliminary match of women's lightweight class (57 kg), with an ippon and an okuri eri jime (sliding lapel strangle), to former Olympic bronze medalist Liu Yuxiang.

She lost again the first preliminary match by an ippon to another Chinese judoka Xu Yan.[4] Unlike her previous Olympics, Latrous offered another shot for the bronze medal by entering the repechage rounds. She was defeated in the first match by Finland's Nina Koivumäki, who successfully scored a koka and a golden score within the five-minute period.[5]
