At the [[1996 Summer Olympics]] in [[Atlanta]], he won the bronze medal in the K-1 500 m event. Known for his devastating sprint finish, Markiewicz won his first national champion 1993. Initially representing in the K-4 event, he won two medals in the K-4 events at the [[ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships]] with silvers in [[1993 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships|1993]] (K-4 10000 m) and [[1994 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships|1994]] (K-4 1000 m). Markiewicz's personality better suited him to the individual K-1 events where he won the K-1 200 m and K-1 500 m events at the [[1995 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships|1995]] As reigning world champion, he went to the 1996 Games as favorite in the K-1 500 m event, but did not live up to expectations. Markiewicz ended up settling for bronze in the K-1 500 m event after finishing fourth in the K-4 1000 m event. After the Olympics, he won his last medal in [[1999 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships|1999]] with a silver medal in the K-4 200 m event. Markiewicz retired in 2001 after a [[car accident]].
