Mario Recordón Burnier nicknamed The Tiger of Osorno (14 July 1922 – 5 June 1994) was a Chilean architect, athlete and educator.

He led Chile to victory in the decathlon in the 1946 South American Athletics Championships and competed in the men's 110 metres hurdles at the 1948 Summer Olympics.

Competing for the first time in the decathlon, he won, surprising all the participants not only with his victory but with his physical appearance, tall and blonde, a contrast to the rest of the Chilean delegation.

[5] He took part in the Olympic Games in London in 1948, although little by little his performance declined, until a strong bout of typhus obliged him to bow out of the final competition.

[6] From the time he received his degree in 1946, he pursued his career as an architect while continuing to participate in sports.
