Career
Schneider made his official debut for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he placed second in the preliminary pool of the men"s 74 kg class, against Russia"s Varteres Samurgashev, Ukraine"s Volodymyr Shatskykh, and Sweden"s Mohammad Babulfath. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Schneider competed for the second time in the men"s 74 kg class. He defeated Algeria"s Messaoud Zeghdane in the preliminary round of sixteen, before losing out the quarterfinal match to Georgia"s Manuchar Kvirkvelia, who was able to score eight points in two straight periods, leaving Schneider without a single point.
Because his opponent advanced further into the final match, Schneider offered another shot for the bronze medal by entering the repechage rounds.
Unfortunately, he was defeated in the first round by France"s Christophe Guénot, with a two-set technical score (1–2, 1–2), and a classification point score of 1–3.
