Sergei Pyzhianov (born October 24, 1960) is a former Soviet pistol shooter. During the last few years of the Soviet Union's dominance, he was a major star on the pistol team. He was born in Kem.[1]
Although never an Olympic champion, he competed at three Olympics, 1980, 1992 and 1996, winning a silver medal in the 10m air pistol in 1992.[1]
