He competed for Austria at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, finishing in tenth place in the men's 200 m butterfly event, 16th in the 200 m individual medley and 15th in the 400 m individual medley.[1]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London he managed a 4th-place finish in the men's 200 m butterfly event. Despite setting a new national record of 1:54.35 in the final, he missed the bronze medal by more than a second.

He is the younger brother of swimmer Mirna Jukić.

After suffering a serious back injury in 2012, Jukić came back after 2 years break, posting a new 100 m freestyle national record (January 2015).[citation needed]
