Together with Wladislaw Ryabzew and Sergej Fedorowzew they won the bronze medal in the Russian double foursome at the European Championships in 2016 and shortly afterwards qualified as the winner of the Olympic qualification in Lucerne for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . This qualification was revoked by the World Rowing Federation at the end of June 2016 because of the doping case involving Fedorovzew. Only one Russian boat started at the games in Rio de Janeiro. The four without a helmsman was made up of Anton Saruzki , Artyom Kosov, Nikita Morgachev and Wladislaw Ryabzew . These four rowers were among the 9 of 28 reported rowers who had not been banned due to a lack of doping tests outside of Russia or proven involvement in the Russian doping system. This short-term combination of four achieved tenth place at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
