Mikhail Sergeyevich Sheremetyev (Russian: Михаил Серге́евич Шереметьев; born 28 March 1985 in Saint Petersburg) is a Russian sailor, who specialized in two-person dinghy (470).[1][2] He represented Russia, along with his brother Maksim Sheremetyev, in two editions of the Olympic Games (2008 and 2012), and has also been training for CSKA Moscow (Russian Army Sports Club) throughout most of his sporting career under personal coach Sergey Modestovich Egorov.[1]
Sheremetyev and his brother Maksim made their official debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where they finished twentieth in the men's 470 class with a net score of 157, edging out Belarusian duo Siarhei Dziasiukevich and Pavel Lahunou by a narrow, two-point gap from the final standings.[3]
At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Sheremetyev competed for the second time as a skipper in the men's 470 class by finishing fifteenth and receiving a berth from the World Championships in Barcelona, Spain.[4][5] Teaming again with his brother and crew member Maksim in the opening series, the Russian duo mounted two top 10 finishes on the fifth and seventh leg respectively to produce a remarkable grade of 130, but came up short for the medal race with a seventeenth-place finish in a fleet of twenty-seven boats.[6]
