Mark Overgaard Madsen (born September 23, 1984) is an amateur Danish Greco-Roman wrestler, who played for the featherweight division.[1][2] He is a four-time medalist (three silver and one bronze) for the same category at the FILA World Championships.
Madsen made his official debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he lost to Russia's Varteres Samurgashev in the first preliminary round of men's Greco-Roman 74 kg, with a technical score of 1–7, and a classification score of 1–3.[3]
At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, Madsen was defeated by another Russian wrestler Roman Vlasov, in the second round of the men's Greco-Roman 74 kg category.[4] Because his opponent advanced further until the final round, Madsen qualified for the repechage bout, where he scored four points and defeated France's Christophe Guénot.[5] In the bronze medal match, Madsen was unable to score enough points in the first two periods, and lost to Lithuania's Aleksandr Kazakevič, finishing only in fifth position.[6]
Few months after the games, Madsen has signed a contract with European MMA, and is expected to play on his first fight inside the cage by February 2013.[7]
