Career

Wojewoda began his career in bobsleigh in 2002. At the 2006 Winter Olympics , he won the silver medal in the four-man bobsleigh together with Filipp Yegorow , Alexei Seliwerstow and Alexander Zubkov . At the 2010 Winter Olympics , he won the bronze medal in the two-man bobsleigh as a pusher for Alexander Zubkov. At the 2011 World Bobsleigh Championship at Königssee, the duo won the world championship title in the two-man bobsleigh for the first time. At the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi , he was the Olympic champion in the two-man bobsleigh as a pusher for Alexander Zubkov. He also won the four-man bobsleigh with Subkow as an Olympic champion.

After that, Wojewoda became president of the Russian Sled Association. On November 24, 2017 , the International Olympic Committee withdrew the medals he had won in Sochi for doping; the judgment can still be appealed to the International Sports Court.
