Biography

Semen Pavlichenko was born on 11 May 1991 in Bratsk, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia. He began practicing luge at the age of ten at a local youth sports school, where he trained under coach Eduard Burmistrov, a former professional luger. In 2019, he graduated from Pushkin Leningrad State University with a degree in physical education.

Pavlichenko made his debut in the Luge World Cup during the 2007–08 season, finishing 43rd in the overall standings. In 2009, he won silver at the Russian National Championships and bronze at the Junior World Championships in Nagano. A year later, he won silver at the Junior World Championships in Igls, Austria. During the 2010–11 season, he finished 21st in the overall World Cup standings.

In February 2015, Pavlichenko won gold at the World Championships in Sigulda, Latvia — the first such title for Russia in men’s singles since Soviet luger Sergey Danilin’s victory in 1981.[2] In February 2019, he won the European Championships in Oberhof, Germany.
