Schenk also won a bronze medal at the 1991 World Championships in Athletics in Tokyo. He missed the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona because of an injury and came fourth in the 1993 World Championships in Athletics in Stuttgart.

His personal best was 8500 points, achieved in August 1993 in Stuttgart. This ranks him ninth among German decathletes, behind Jürgen Hingsen, Uwe Freimuth, Siegfried Wentz, Frank Busemann, Torsten Voss, Guido Kratschmer, Paul Meier and Siegfried Stark.[1] Schenk cleared 2.27 m (7 ft 5+1⁄4 in) in the 1988 Seoul Olympics to share the World Decathlon Best in high jump with Rolf Beilschmidt, until the Canadian Olympic high jump gold medalist Derek Drouin improved the record by 1 centimeter in an decathlon competition in 2017.[2] Schenk was noted for his use of the old-fashioned straddle technique, at a time when the Fosbury flop had become almost universal in competitive high jumping. He retired in 1994.

In August 2018 Schenk confessed that he had used chlorodehydromethyltestosterone during his career, his voluntary doping confession was greeted as a positive signal by the International Olympic Committee.[3]
