successes
Georgi Schaiduko, who mainly competed in the Soling boat class during his career , took part in the Olympic Games four times . When he first participated in 1988 in Seoul , he started in the Soviet team and finished the regatta in tenth place. Four years later he was part of the United team's squad in Barcelona . It was his only Olympic Games that he did not contest in Soling, but in the Flying Dutchman , whose regatta he finished in eleventh place. At the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta he was the skipper of the Russian boat, which was manned as a crew by Dmitri Schabanow and Igor Skalin . After ten races in the Fleet Race , they qualified with 50 points as fifth for the final round, which was held in the Match Race . After victories over Canada in the quarter-finals and the United States in the semi-finals, the Russian crew faced the German boat led by Jochen Schümann in a duel for the Olympic victory, to which they clearly lost 3-0 in three races. Schaiduko received the silver medal together with Schabanow and Skalin. In 2000 in Sydney he was sixth after elimination in the quarterfinals.
Schaiduko won the bronze medal at world championships in Soling in 1987 in Kiel before becoming world champion both in Punta Ala in 1996 and in Milwaukee in 1998 . In 1996, like at the Olympic Games, his crew consisted of Dmitri Schabanow and Igor Skalin.
