Dmitry Vladimirovich Vasilyev (Russian: Дмитрий Владимирович Васильев) (born 8 December 1962 in Leningrad) is a former Russian biathlete. At the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Vasilyev won a gold medal with the Soviet relay team, which consisted of himself, Juri Kashkarov, Algimantas Šalna and Sergei Bulygin.[1] He received another relay gold medal at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.[1]
Vasilyev also won a 20 km individual World Cup race in Holmenkollen in the 1982–83 season.[2][3]
In 2023, he accused Norwegian biathletes of doping, claiming that is the sole reason for their support for Russia's exclusion from the Olympics.[4]
