Dmitri Wiktorowitsch Wassiljew ( Russian Дмитрий Викторович Васильев , scientific transliteration Dmitrij Viktorovič Vasil'ev , English Dimitry Vassiliev ; born December 26, 1979 in Ufa , Bashkir ASSR , USSR ) is a Russian ski jumper .

Career

Dmitri Wassiljew jumps for the club CSKA / Lokomotiw Ufa. Since 1998 he has been jumping in the World Cup. In 1999 he was used for the first time in Ramsau am Dachstein at the Nordic World Ski Championships and took 39th place on the large and 60th on the normal hill. At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin he was leading on the normal hill after the first round, but then only finished tenth. He took 17th place on the large hill and eighth with the Russian team. His best results so far in the World Cup were three second places in 2001 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen at the New Year's event , in 2009 in Lillehammer and 2012 in Ruka .

At the Ski Flying World Championships 2000 in Vikersund, he finished 24th in the individual competition. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Predazzo in 2003 , it was enough to finish 32nd on the large and 49th on the normal hill. At the Ski Flying World Championships 2004 in Planica he was 32nd in the individual and seventh with the Russian team. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf in 2005 he came in fifth (normal hill) and sixth (large hill) with the Russian team and reached 22nd place on the normal hill and 23rd place on the large hill in the individual competitions. At the Ski Flying World Championships 2006 in Bad Mitterndorf he finished 16th in the individual and was again seventh with the Russian team. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Sapporo in 2007 he was seventh on the large hill and tenth on the normal hill and with the Russian team on the large hill. Wassiljew was able to achieve a third place in the 2006/07 season at the World Cup competition on the Hochfirstschanze . At the Ski Flying World Championships in Oberstdorf in 2008 , he achieved fifth place with the Russian team.

His most successful World Cup season to date is that of 2008/09 . At the Four Hills Tournament he achieved two third places in the opening competition on December 29, 2008 in Oberstdorf and in the final competition on January 6, 2009 in Bischofshofen again on the World Cup podium. In the overall tour standings he finished fifth. On February 15, 2009, he and his team won second place on the Heini-Klopfer ski flying hill in Oberstdorf. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Liberec in 2009 , like two years earlier in Sappor, the seventh (large hill) and ten (normal hill), but this time ninth with the Russian team. At the Nordic Tournament from March 8th to 15th, 2009 he achieved three podium finishes: third in the opening jump on the Selpauselkä normal hill in Lahti, as mentioned, second on Lysgårdsbakken in Lillehammer and third in the final jump on the Vikersund ski flying hill . In Planica he was third in the penultimate individual competition of the season, and the next day he also achieved third place with the team.

2009/10 he could not quite build on the performance from the previous season. After an injury sustained during a training fall on the Kulm ski flying hill, he had to take a break from the World Cup for several weeks. He was injured again in another fall after regeneration was complete while training in Lillehammer and therefore missed the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver . The diagnosis of a " cruciate ligament tear " was followed by knee surgery. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo in 2011 he was 39th on the normal hill and reached ninth place in both team competitions (large and normal hill) with the Russian team.

In February 2012 Vasilyev was 34th in the individual and ninth with the Russian team at the Ski Flying World Championships in Vikersund . In March 2012 he was able to win the Russian championship title on the new ski jumping facility in Tchaikovsky on both the large and the normal hill. At the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi he reached the 26th place on the large hill and was ninth with the team. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2013 , he finished 28th on the normal and 36th on the large hill and was ninth with both the men's and mixed teams.

At the World Ski Flying Championships in Harrachov in 2014 , he reached eighth place in the team competition. On February 15, 2015, while ski flying in Vikersund, he managed the longest jump ever made by a ski jumper at 254 meters. But since he could not stand it, the jump does not count as a world record. With a width of 233.5 meters, set up on the same weekend, it still holds the Russian national record . At the following Nordic World Ski Championships in 2015 in Falun , he was 21st on the large hill and 40th on the normal hill and seventh with the Russian men's team.

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti in 2017 , he finished 24th on the large and 30th on the normal hill and finished ninth with the Russian men's team. At the Ski Flying World Championships 2018 in Oberstdorf he was 33rd in the individual and reached seventh place with the Russian team. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2019 in Seefeld in Tyrol , he finished 23rd (normal hill) and 46th (large hill) in the individual, while he was seventh with the Russian mixed team and ninth with the men's team.

doping

In 2001 Vasilyev was the only known doping case of ski jumping. He had taken the diuretic furosemide for weight loss. Before that, he had a third place at the Four Hills Tournament in Innsbruck and a third place at the World Cup in Sapporo . The results were withdrawn from Vasilyev and he was banned for two years. Vasilyev was allowed to keep the second place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , which was achieved shortly before the doping control .
