Andriy Olehovych Shafranyuk (Ukrainian: Андрій Олегович Шафранюк, also transliterated Shafraniuk, born 9 February 1984) is a Ukrainian former sailor, who specialized in the multihull (Tornado) class.[1] Together with his partner Pavlo Kalynchev, he was named one of the country's top sailors in the mixed multihull catamaran for the 2008 Summer Olympics, finishing in a distant thirteenth position.[2] Throughout his competitive sporting career, Shafranyuk trained as a member of the sailing squad for Ukraïna Mykolaïv.[3]
Shafranyuk competed for the Ukrainian sailing squad, as a crew member in the Tornado class, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[3][4] Leading up to their maiden Games, he and skipper Kalynchev formally accepted a berth forfeited by New Zealand, as the next highest-ranked crew vying for qualification, based on the results at the Tornado Worlds five months earlier in Auckland. The Ukrainian duo started the series superbly with a couple of top-six marks in races 1 and 3, before fading steadily towards the sterns of the 15-boat fleet at the final stretch and never looked back, landing Shafranyuk and Kalynchev to a distant thirteenth overall with 99 net points.[2][5]
