My name is Anastas Panchenko. I am the powerboat champion of Russia in the class of aquabike, a member of the Russian national powerboat team and a member of JetSki St.Petersburg Team(@jetskispb), a professional aquabike racing team. I am also a semi-professional triathlete, taking part in such long-distance races as the IRONMAN(3.86 km swim, 180.25 km bike, 42.16 run) with excellent results. According to an independent rating of triathletes, by the total points gained in 2017, I am currently rated among the TOP 5 Russian triathletes successfully participating in international IRONMAN triathlon races.

My success as a triathlete was noted by the world famous company, IRONMAN, which awarded me the ALL WORLD ATHLETE (AWA) Bronze in 2015, making me one of the TOP 10 triathletes in my age group in the world, and AWA Silver already in 2016, boosting me to the Top 5. Every year I strive to increase the number of my annual triathlon starts and select more and more challenging races. In early August, I successfully finished in the SIBERMAN515 ultra triathlon in Siberia (10 km swim, 421 km bike, 84 run). And after, already in September 2017, I took part in one of the most difficult and prestigious triathlon sevents in the world, the Epic5 Challenge, featuring five days of full IRONMAN races (that is, [3.86 km swim, 180.25 km bike, 42.16 run] x 5). The director of the Epic5 Challenge race agreed on my participation in this event for more than eight months - a very strict selection of participants. As a result, there were only nine heroes from all over the world on the starting list. And successfully managed to finish only four, among them was me.

I am the first athlete from Russia who has overcome 5 different complete iron distances IRONMAN for 5 days.

Annual race schedule calendar will be very busy for me, featuring various Xterra extreme triathlon events, several IRONMAN events, Russian, European and World Aquabike Championships.
