Alexey Alexeyevich Prokurorov (Template:Langx; 25 March 1964 – 10 October 2008) was a Soviet/Russian cross-country skier who competed in the late 1980s and 1990s for both the Soviet Union and Russia.

Career

Prokurorov was born in the village of Mishino of Vladimir Oblast, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union.

Prokurorov's biggest successes were winning the gold medal in the 30 km freestyle and the silver medal in the 4 × 10 km relay at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

At the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, Prokurorov earned a total of six medals. This included one gold (30 km: 1997), one silver (10 km: 1997), and four bronzes (50 km: 1989, 4 × 10 km relay: 1993, 30 km: 1995, 10 km + 15 km combined pursuit: 1997). He also won the 50 km event twice at the Holmenkollen ski festival (1993, 1998). He also won the Russian championship title 13 times.

Prokurorov received the Holmenkollen medal, the highest Norwegian skiing award, in 1998 (shared with Fred Børre Lundberg, Larissa Lazutina and Harri Kirvesniemi).[1]

Prokurorov was a flag bearer of Russian team at the 1998 Winter Olympics and 2002 Winter Olympics.[2]

Prokurorov retired after the 2001/2002 season at the age of 39. After retirement, he was Chief coach of the Russian women cross-country skiing team. He received state honors for his services to sports.

He died in a road crash in Vladimir on 10 October 2008, when he was hit by a car driven by a drunk man[3] as he was crossing the road.[4][5]
