Pavel Anatolyevich Kolobkov (Russian: Павел Анатольевич Колобков, born 22 September 1969) is a retired Russian (and formerly Soviet) épée fencer. He won one gold, two silver and three bronze medals at five Olympic Games from 1988 to 2004. He served as the Minister of Sport in the Russian government from 2016 to 2020. He also previously served as the Deputy Minister of Sport as well as Deputy Minister of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy.

Biography

Kolobkov was born on 22 September 1969 in Moscow. In his career he won 27 medals between Olympic Games, World and European Championships. He was appointed as a Deputy Minister of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy on 8 October 2010 by then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. He was appointed as the head of the Russian delegation for 2012 Summer Olympics in London on 9 August 2011.

On 18 June 2012, he was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Sports. He was appointed as a Class 3 State Advisor of the Russian Federation on 7 October 2013.

Kolobkov also served as Russia's representative to the World Anti-Doping Agency. His last meeting with the organization was on 18 November 2015 when it declared the Russian Anti-Doping Agency as non-compliant. As a result, he lost his position as representative to the organization in January 2016 and was barred from serving on the organization's Foundation Board.

He was appointed as a Class 2 State Advisor of the Russian Federation on 11 August 2016. On 19 October, he was appointed as the Minister of Sport in Dmitry Medvedev's Cabinet in place of the previous minister Vitaly Mutko (who was promoted to Deputy Prime Minister) by President Putin.

On 15 January 2020, he resigned as part of the cabinet, after President Vladimir Putin delivered the Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly, in which he proposed several amendments to the constitution. On 21 January, he was replaced by Oleg Matytsin. In March 2020, Kolobkov was appointed as a board member and the Deputy chief executive officer for Federal Government Relations by Gazprom Neft.
