At the 1952 he won three matches, but lost the semifinal to Sergei Scherbakov. This was the first Olympics where there was not a third place match, and he thus won a shared bronze medal. This was the undisputed best Danish boxing result at the Olympics until 1992 where Brian Nielsen achieved the same result.
