Burkart reached the quarter-finals of the 100 m at the 1994 European Athletics Championships and matched that feat at the 1995 World Championships in Athletics. He also won the "C" final section at the 1994 European Cup. In 1996 he claimed his tenth Swiss title in the 60 m and his ninth title in the 100 m. He also qualified for his second Olympics at the 1996 Atlanta Games. He failed to make it past the first round but he became the oldest male athlete ever to compete in the 100 metres at the Olympics. After that season he largely retired from athletics, but made further appearances at the Swiss Indoor Championships, competing in 1999 and finally in 2002. He also won the 100 m in the over-40s division at the 2002 European Veterans Athletics Championships.
