Evgeny Shvetsov (born 28 February 1988) is a Paralympian track and field athlete from Russia competing mainly in category T36 sprint and middle-distance events.

In the final he shave three thousands of that record, taking the Paralympic title and pushing Graeme Ballard (Great Britain) and Roman Pavlyk (Ukraine) into silver and bronze positions.

[1] For Shetsov's third event of the Paralympic Games, the 800m, he arrived as one of the title favourites, having set a new world record a few months earlier when he ran 2:05.05 at the 2012 European Championships in Stadskanaal.

[2] In the Paralympic final he maintained his form to finish just outside his record with a time of 3:05:34 pushing fellow Russian Artem Arefyev into second place.

[3] Shvetsov was keen to regain his World Championship titles, and his new training regime focused on the sprint events, including his favourite distance, the 400m.
