Maxim Nikolajewitsch Kedrin ( Russian Максим Николаевич Кедрин ; born September 21, 1982 in Leningrad ) is a former Russian ski racer . He came to skiing through his mother, Lyudmila Kedrina (née Reus), who was a ski racer herself. His younger sister Anastassija Kedrina also became a ski racer.

Career

Kedrin took part in FIS races and the Russian championships from the winter of 1997/1998 . From December 1998 he also took part in races in the European Cup, but he only won the first points in February 2000 with a 20th place in the Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . During the next two years he did not get into the points in any race, so he was among the best 30. Kedrin took part in three junior world championships and achieved placements in the middle and back field. His best result was a 25th place in the 2001 Super-G .

In 2000, Kedrin achieved podium places in FIS races for the first time and in December of the same year he contested his only two World Cup races in Val-d'Isère . In these giant slaloms, however, he remained without result. In January 2001 the Russian took part in the world championship in St. Anton am Arlberg . He only started in the Super-G and finished 34th out of 43 runners. A year later he also took part in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and finished 36th in the downhill. In the combined downhill he was 27th, but he did not take part in the combined slalom.

On November 28, 2002, Kedrin scored eleventh place in the giant slalom in Levi for the second and last time in the European Cup. After the turn of the year he achieved several podium places in FIS races and three second places in the Russian championships before ending his career in 2003.
