Pozdnyakov is also one of the most successful Olympic fencers. At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, as a member of the [[Unified Team at the 1992 Summer Olympics|Unified Team], he took gold. In 1996, now as team captain and competing for Russia, he again won gold in the team event and added his third gold by triumphing in the individual event. His third Olympics was in 2000, where he won his third consecutive team gold and fourth overall. At the 2004 Olympics, now a veteran, Pozdnyakov again competed as part of the Russian men's sabre team, beating the USA 45-44 for the bronze medal. Four years later, at his fifth and last Olympics in 2008, Pozdnyakov finished without a medal as Russia lost in the semi-finals to the USA 45–44 and then lost its bronze medal game. He retired after the Games in Beijing.
After retiring from competitive fencing Pozdnyakov served as an official of the International Fencing Federation (FIE).
Since May 2018 Pozdnyakov serves as the President of the Russian Olympic Committee.[3]
