Alexei Konstantinowitsch Zwetkow ( Russian Алексей Константинович Цветков ; born September 1, 1981 in Sverdlovsk ) is a former Russian Nordic combined skier .
Career
Zwetkow, who started for Dinamo Ekaterinburg , made his international debut in 1998 in the B-World Cup of Nordic Combined . Already in his first season 1998/99 he reached the 70th place in the overall ranking with 10 points. At the Nordic Junior World Ski Championships in 2000 in Štrbské Pleso , he won the gold medal in the individual on the normal hill. On March 4th, 2000 he made his debut in the Nordic Combined World Cup after this success . In Lahti he clearly missed the points and a top placement as 52nd.
Already in his third World Cup competition in Oslo he clearly reached the points and was at the end of the 60th overall World Cup ranking. At the beginning of the 2000/01 season , he again clearly missed the points in Kuopio and Reit im Winkl and thus withdrew from the World Cup and moved again to the B World Cup. There, after good results, he achieved 57th place overall. For the 2001/02 season Zwetkow came back to the World Cup. Already in December in Steamboat Springs he reached his first top 20 place in the World Cup in the sprint with 18th place. Also in January in Reit im Winkl he was 30th successful.
At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City , Zwetkow was 27th in the individual. In the team competition, he did not finish the race with his teammates and was thus tenth and last in the end.
In August 2002 Zwetkow competed in the Nordic Combined Grand Prix for the first time , but remained unsuccessful in Winterberg and Klingenthal . In the 2002/03 season he started again in the B World Cup and reached the points in all four competitions in the United States. In Park City , he just missed his first podium in fourth. In the Nordic World Ski Championships in the Italian Val di Fiemme he was sent to a 32nd place in the individual with the team ninth. Zwetkow achieved 29th place in the sprint.
In August 2003 he was able to win points for the first time with 29th place at his only start of the season in the Grand Prix in Klingenthal . Despite his regular points gains from December 2003 in the B World Cup, Zwetkow was no longer able to return to the World Cup squad. He also stopped participating in all competitions. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf in 2005 , he again reached rank 38 in the individual.
Until the end of his career in January 2007, Zwetkow could only rarely score points in the B World Cup. The best result was a seventh place in Lake Placid in December 2005. In the 2005/06 season he was 59th overall with 48 points.
