After missing out his 2000 Olympic bid, Makarov returned from an eight-year absence to qualify for his second Ukrainian team, as a 39-year-old, in pistol shooting at the [[2004 Summer Olympics]] in [[Athens]].<ref name=makarov-olympics/> A year before the Games, he set a minimum qualifying score of 557 and then picked up a silver medal in free pistol with a total of 650.9 to grab one of the available Olympic slots for his nation at the initial meet of the ISSF World Cup series in [[Fort Benning, Georgia]], [[United States]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Shooting 2004 Olympic Qualification|url=http://www.majority-sport.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/home/msp/pages/docs/OQ04/Shooting_OQ_v2.pdf|format=[[PDF]]|publisher=Majority Sports|page=2|accessdate=21 July 2015}}</ref> In the [[Shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's 10 metre air pistol|men's 10 m air pistol]], held on the first day of the Games, Makarov shot a score of 578 to finish in a three-way tie for seventeenth place with Portugal's [[João Costa (sport shooter)|João Costa]] and Italy's [[Francesco Bruno]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Shooting: Men's 10m Air Pistol Prelims|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics_2004/shooting/results/3532224.stm|work=[[Athens 2004]]|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|date=15 August 2004|accessdate=31 January 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title='Золота рибка' принесла перше 'золото' Україні|trans_title="Goldfish" brings home the gold for Ukraine|language=uk|url=http://noc-ukr.org/news/2294/|publisher=[[National Olympic Committee of Ukraine]]|date=15 August 2004|accessdate=23 July 2015}}</ref> Three days later, Makarov improved from his disappointing feat in the air pistol to fire 557 points for a remarkable tenth-place finish in the [[Shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's 50 metre pistol|men's 50 m pistol]], but his shots were not highly enough to put him through the final round, missing out by a two-point shortfall.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shooting: Men's 50m Pistol Prelims|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics_2004/shooting/results/3532230.stm|work=[[Athens 2004]]|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|date=15 August 2004|accessdate=31 January 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title='Золота рибка' двічі 'золота'|trans_title="Goldfish" strikes a double gold|language=uk|url=http://noc-ukr.org/news/2289/|publisher=[[National Olympic Committee of Ukraine]]|date=17 August 2004|accessdate=23 July 2015}}</ref>
