Career

Denis Kornilow made his international debut in the 2002/03 season in the Continental Cup show jumping. In his first two starts this season he missed the points as 46th in Liberec and 44th in Engelberg . At the Nordic Junior World Ski Championships in 2003 in Sollefteå , Sweden , he finished 58th in the individual.

Kornilov drew attention to himself in November 2003 when he was training for the World Cup jumping in Ruka, Finland, where he reeled off his jumps over enormous distances. At that time nobody knew the 17-year-old and he caused general astonishment. Since he had not scored any Continental Cup points up to this point, he was not allowed to start the World Cup and therefore had to watch the competition from the grandstand. On December 14, 2004, he picked up his first COC points in sixth place in Lillehammer . A week later, on December 20th, he made his debut in the World Cup in Engelberg. As 18th he got his first World Cup points straight away. At the Nordic Junior World Ski Championships in February 2004 in Stryn , Norway , he finished 31st in the individual and tenth place with the Russian team. In the same month he was in his first World Cup season at the Ski Flying World Championship in Planica . He was 27th in the individual and seventh in the team competition. In the summer of 2004 he made his debut in the Summer Grand Prix . In two races in a team and a single start, he still missed the points. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf in 2005 , he finished 39th on the normal hill and 26th on the large hill in the individual competitions. With the Russian team, he was fifth on the normal and sixth on the large hill. On August 31, 2005 he took his first Grand Prix points in Predazzo as 20th . At the ski flying world championship in 2006 on the Kulm , he finished 39th in the individual and seventh in the team. At his first Olympic Winter Games in Turin in 2006 , he did not reach the finals in an individual with 34th place on the normal hill and 33rd on the large hill. With the Russian team he reached the final round and finished eighth.

Kornilov arrived in the extended world elite in the 2006/07 season . With increasing consistency he achieved placements in the top 20 in the World Cup. His best placement in the World Cup to date was achieved on March 13, 2007 in Kuopio in fifth place. In the overall World Cup he achieved his best result to date with 19th place.

He jumped consistently into the top ten throughout the summer and finished fourth in the overall standings with 293 points. With that he achieved his best placement to date. At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver , he reached 26th place in jumping on the normal hill and 35th place on the large hill. With the Russian team he finished tenth. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo in 2011 , he finished 16th in the individual competitions on the normal hill and 32nd on the large hill.
