Sergei Pyzhianov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sergei Pyzhianov is a former Soviet sport shooter. During the last few years of the Soviet Union's dominance, he was a major star on the pistol team. Although never an Olympic champion, he did win the ISSF World Shooting Championships three times: in 1986 (50 m Pistol), 1989 (10 m Air Pistol) and 1990 (25 m Center-Fire Pistol). In 1989, he also won the first ISSF World Cup Final with the new air pistol targets, setting two new world records after 593 points in the qualification round and 102.1 points in the final round. Both these records remain unbeaten.
