Vladimir Viktorovich Grigorev (Russian: Владимир Викторович Григорьев; born 8 August 1982) is a Russian short track speed skater.[1] He previously competed for the Ukraine.[2] Grigorev is from Sumy in the Ukraine.[3]

Career

Grigorev competed for Ukraine in short track speed skating at the 2002 Winter Olympics,[2][4] and the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics.[2]

He did not compete at the 2010 Olympics,[4] and, in 2007, switched allegiance to Russia, due to a shortage of skating facilities in Ukraine.[3]

He qualified to compete for Russia at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. On 15 February 2014, he won a silver medal in the 1000m short track speedskating event, as part of the first Russian 1-2 finish in short track, with Viktor Ahn winning gold. With his silver, at 31 years and 191 days of age, Grigorev became the oldest man to win a short track Olympic medal.[5] On 21 February 2014, he won a gold medal in 5000m-relay as part of Team Russia.[6]
