successes

Vasily Borisov, who started for Dynamo Moscow , took part in the Olympic Games in Melbourne in 1956 and in Rome in 1960 . In the three-position battle with the free rifle, he scored a total of 1138 points in 1956, with which he finished the competition in first place and became Olympic champion . Second-placed Allan Erdman scored only one point less , while Vilho Ylönen was third. With the small-bore rifle, however, he just missed winning a medal in the three-position fight as fourth. With 1163 points, he was four points behind bronze medalist John Sundberg . In the prone position he almost managed the perfect competition before he failed to score full points for the first time in the last series. While Gerald Ouellette scored the full 600 points, Borissow placed silver with 599 points ahead of Gilmour Boa . The 1960 Games were also successful for Borisov. With the free rifle he landed on the podium again in the three-position battle when he achieved the third-best result behind Hubert Hammerer and Hans Rudolf Spillmann with 1127 points . In the prone position with the small bore rifle, however, he did not succeed in repeating his success of 1956. His 586 points were enough for fourth place, only one point behind Enrico Forcella , who won bronze.

Borissow secured a total of 23 medals at world championships and was world champion twelve times. At the 1954 World Championships in Caracas , he won half of his titles, as well as five silver and two bronze medals. In addition to winning the individual titles in the standing attack with the free rifle and the horizontal attack with the small-bore rifle, he won the gold medal in the team competitions of the three-position match with the free rifle and the small-bore rifle, as well as in the standing and kneeling position with the small-bore rifle. Four years later in Moscow he repeated the title wins with the team in the two three-position combat disciplines and with the small-bore rifle in the standing and kneeling position. In addition, he won another bronze medal. Borissow won his eleventh and twelfth world championship titles in Cairo in 1962 with the standard rifle and with the small-bore rifle in the team competition of the three-position fight. In 1966 he secured one silver and two bronze medals in Wiesbaden .
