BIOGRAPHY

Born in Uzbekistan, Sergey Tetyukhin started playing volleyball under the guidance of his father, and at age 16 he joined his first professional team, Krylya Vostoka Tashkent. A year later, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, his family opted to move to Belgorod in Russia.
 
Tetyukhin joined the local club, Belogorie Belgorod, in 1992. It turned out to be the club where he would spend most of his career.  The outside hitter helped the squad reach the top of the world at the 2014 Club World Championship. He also won three continental titles with Belogorie and two bronze medals in the Champions League, as well as two CEV Volleyball Cup trophies.
 
He also played in Italy for two seasons and later had a couple of two-year periods with Zenit Kazan, where he won CEV Champions League gold (2008) and silver (2011) and FIVB Volleyball Men’s Club World Championship bronze in 2009.
 
Tetyukhin received his first call to the senior national team of Russia in 1993, but made his official debut in 1996. Before that, he was a member of Russia’s junior national team and won gold at the 1995 FIVB U21 Volleyball World Championship, as well as the 1994 CEV U20 European Championship, where he claimed the MVP award too.
 
By the beginning of the century, Tetyukhin had played at two Olympics and earned his first Olympic medal, silver at the 2000 Sydney Games. He had also won gold at the 1999 FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Cup and four FIVB Volleyball World League medals.
 
Tetyukhin and his Russian teammates claimed spots on major international competition podiums in each calendar year of the century’s first decade (except for 2010), most notably two Olympic bronze medals, a 2002 FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship silver and a 2002 World League gold.
 
But it was the most recent decade that brought the Russian star to the most illustrious success of his glorious career, the Olympic title in 2012, claiming victory over Brazil in one of the most stunning comeback volleyball matches of all time.  
 
Tetyukhin was the flag-bearer for Russia at the Rio 2016 Games Opening Ceremony and, just before retiring from the national team, became the first male volleyball player with six Olympic appearances. On each of these six occasions, Russia were among the semifinalists. After 20 years in the national team jersey, Tetyukhin accumulated a total of 320 official matches and scored 2,488 points. Also in 2016, he was named Volleyball Ambassador of the Year by the European Volleyball Confederation.
 
For his iron will, strong character, ability to take the lead at the right time and to score the most difficult balls we welcome Sergey Tetyukhin to the International Volleyball Hall of Fame as an indoor player.
