Internationally, Nymark was at the start at the World Championships in Seville in 1999 and Edmonton in 2001 , but never reached the finish. At the European Championships in 2002 , Nymark was able to place himself far ahead for the first time when he reached fifth place, but he was six minutes behind bronze. This was followed by an eighth place at the 2003 World Championships in Paris / Saint-Denis and a 13th place at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

But in the end he lost his strength in a pure rain race, and he was overtaken by the French Yohann Diniz , the Spaniard Jesús Ángel García and the Russian Juri Andronow . Almost three minutes behind Diniz and almost a minute behind Andronow, Nymark took fourth place. In 2007, at the European Cup in Leamington Spa , Nymark came within a second of his best time from the previous year and was again second behind a Russian, this time it was Vladimir Kanaikin .
