Vladimir Vladimirovich Sedov (Kazakh: Владимир Владимирович Седов; born March 2, 1988 in Ushtobe, Almaty Region) is a Kazakhstani weightlifter.[1]
Career[]
He won a gold medal for the 94 kg class at the 2009 World Weightlifting Championships in Goyang, South Korea, with a total of 402 kg, defeating Azerbaijan's Nizami Pashayev by fifteen kilograms.[2]

During the competition, he successfully lifted 180 kg in the single-motion snatch, and hoisted 200 kg in the two-part, shoulder-to-overhead clean and jerk, for a total of 380 kg. Sedov, however, narrowly lost the Olympic medal to Armenia's Tigran Vardan Martirosyan by three kilograms short of his record from the clean and jerk, finishing the entire event in fourth place.[3][4] On 17 November 2016 the IOC disqualified him from the 2008 Olympic Games and struck his results from the record for failing a drugs test in a re-analysis of his doping sample from 2008.[5]
