Borchanka qualified for the Belarusian squad in the men's light heavyweight class (84 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing fourth and receiving a berth from the World Championships a year earlier.[3] Borchanka dismantled Kazakhstan's Magomed Kurugliyev on his opening bout with a 2–1 decision, but could not push U.S. wrestler and 2003 world silver medalist Cael Sanderson off the mat, and suffered a defeat by a 1–9 blowout at the end of the tournament.[4][5] Finishing second in the prelim pool and fourteenth overall, Borchanka's performance fell short to put him through to the quarterfinals.[6]
