Sergey Kamenskiy

One of the most consistent rifle shooters of recent years, Sergey Kamenskiy is a Russian sports shooter who has already won 12 World Cup medals. Kamenskiy has won numerous medals for Russia since he first climbed the senior World Cup podium back in 2014, including silver in the men’s 50m Rifle at the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympic Games in 2016.

The men’s 10 metre air rifle world champion made a new legion of fans at the International Shooting Sport Federation World Cup in Delhi after his two sensational finals. With his career medal count now including 12 Gold, 8 Silver and 4 Bronze, Kamenskiy celebrated in style when he took his seventh ISSF gold at the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range.

Born in Biysk, Russia, the rifle superstar began shooting in 1999 when he was 8 years old and honed his skills initially under his father who was a coach for a local shooting club. He started competing in 2001 and won his first World Cup gold medal in Maribor in 2014. Two years later he climbed the medal podium at the Rio Olympics after clinching the silver in the 50m rifle 3 positions. During an incredibly successful 2019 season, Kamenskiy also booked an Olympic quota for Russia in the 10m air rifle event. He now has his sights firmly set on Tokyo 2021, where he hopes to add Olympic gold to his already impressive medal haul.
