Madrigal made his Olympic debut at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, where he competed only in the 100 m breaststroke. Swimming in heat two, he held off Namibia's Jorg Lindemeier by three-hundredths of a second (.03) to pick up a third seed in 1:05.47.[2]

He achieved FINA B-standards of 1:05.61 (100 m breaststroke) and 2:20.00 (200 m breaststroke) from the 2000 Janet Evans Invitational in USC Los Angeles, California, United States.[3] [4] In the 100 m breaststroke, held on the first day of the games, Madrigal established a new Costa Rican record of 1:05.14 to lead the second heat, but ended up overall in forty-eighth place.[5] [6] Three days later, in the 200 m breaststroke, Madrigal placed forty-third on the morning prelims, swimming in heat three.[7] [8]
