Career

edit

His best World Cup finishes were two second places, both in sprint events in 2009, until December 2011, when he won a skate sprint in Davos, Switzerland.[1] Petukhov finished ninth in the sprint event at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2009 in Liberec. He won bronze with Nikolay Morilov in the Team Sprint at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. In December 2016, FIS provisionally suspended six Russian cross-country skiers linked to doping violations during the 2014 Winter Olympics, including Petukhov.[2] On 9 November 2017, he was officially disqualified from the 2014 Winter Olympics by the International Olympic Committee.[3]

Petukhov also won the gold in the 4 x 10 km relay at the 2003 Nordic Junior World Ski Championships at Sollefteå.
