Alexander Ivanovich Karapusow ( Russian Александр Иванович Карапузов ; born September 3, 1955 ) is a former Soviet ski jumper .

Career

Karapusow made his international debut at the Four Hills Tournament in 1973/74 . However, after he could not jump to any of the four competitions in any of the four competitions, he only landed 61st place in the overall standings. After a year break, he started his most successful tour at the Four Hills Tournament 1975/76 . After ranking 31st on the Schattenbergschanze in Oberstdorf , he impressed for the first time in jumping on the Great Olympic Hill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , where he achieved the best individual result of his career with 10th place. On the Bergiselschanze in Innsbruck Karapusow jumped to place 21, before he finished the tour with place 17 on the Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze in Bischofshofen and thus overall place 16. At the following Olympic Winter Games in Innsbruck in 1976 , he achieved two top 20 placements, ranking 12th on the normal hill and 15th on the large hill.

In his last two tours, the Four Hills Tournament 1976/77 and the Four Hills Tournament 1977/78 , he could no longer build on the success and only reached the overall ranks 37 and 38 before he ended his active ski jumping career in 1978.
