At the European Championships in Budapest in 1996 , he achieved his best result to date with a seventh place.

In 1996 he took part in the Olympic Games for the first time in Atlanta . He came in a good 8th place there. He had to fight hard for this place with victories over Rozy Rejepow from Turkmenistan , Incio Vasquez, Peru , Moustafa Hussain from Egypt and Reynaldo Rudolfo Pena Borroto, Cuba . He lost to Aljaksandr Sidarenka from Belarus and Derrick Waldroup from the United States.

At the European Championships in 1997 in Kouvola he won over Pius Grenz, Germany , Bakuri Gogitidze, Georgia and Əsəd Əliyev from Azerbaijan and lost to Taimuras Edishashvili from Russia , which brought him to 8th place. At the world championship of the same year in Breslau he lost to Maik Bullmann from Germany and Mikael Ljungberg from Sweden and only came in 21st place.

In 2004 Marek Švec failed to qualify for participation in the Olympic Games in Athens .

This was the second time he was vice world champion .

After a somewhat disappointing 9th place at the 2007 European Championships in Sofia , which can be traced back to a defeat against Balasz Kiss from Hungary in the second fight, Marek Švec then won another medal at the 2007 World Cup in Baku with 3rd place. After a defeat in the first round against Ramas Nosadze, he defeated Justin Ruiz, Jimmy Lidberg from Sweden, Elis Guri from Albania and Daigoro Timoncini from Italy one after the other .

At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing , Marek Švec won over Kalojan Dintschew from Bulgaria and the reigning world champion from 2007 Ramas Nosadze . In the third fight, however, he was defeated by the extremely strong Russian Aslanbek Chuschtow on points. Also in the fight for 3rd place and thus for the bronze medal he had to accept a point defeat against Ässet Mämbetow from Kazakhstan, who was subsequently banned for doping . With that he reached the ungrateful, because medalless, fifth place. By canceling the results of Ässet Mämbetow, he moved up to third place.
