This is Kamensky’s second bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as he previously grabbed the bronze medal in 10m air rifle mixed team competition in pair with Yulia Karimova.
Kamensky, 33, is the silver medal winner of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He also packs two gold medals of the 2018 World Championship, two gold medals of the 2019 European Games and seven gold medals of the European championships.
As of today, the Russian national team of athletes in Tokyo, participating as Team ROC (the Russian Olympic Committee) due to international sanctions against Russian sports, boasts 12 gold, 20 silver and 14 bronze medals. Team ROC is currently 5th in the overall medals count.
The 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Japan’s capital of Tokyo are being held this year between July 23 and August 8. In March 2020, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to postpone the 2020 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Japan for one year due to the spread of COVID-19.
