Pavel Anatolyevich Kolobkov (Russian: Павел Анатольевич Колобков, born 22 September 1969) is a retired Russian (and formerly Soviet) épée fencer. He won one gold, two silver and three bronze medals at five Olympic Games from 1988 to 2004. He currently serves as the Minister of Sport in the Russian government. He also previously served as the Deputy Minister of Sport as well Deputy Minister of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy. He is widely considered the best épée fencer of the past two decades.
Kolobkov was born on 22 September 1969 in Moscow. In his career he won 26 medals between Olympic Games, World and European Championships. He was appointed as a Deputy Minister of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy on 8 October 2010 by then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. He was appointed as the head of the Russian delegation for 2012 Summer Olympics in London on 9 August 2011. On 18 June 2012, he was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Sports.
He also served as Russia's representative to World Anti-Doping Agency. His last meeting with the organization was on 18 November 2015 when it declared Russian Anti-Doping Agency as non-compliant. As a result, he lost his position as representative to the organization in January 2016 and was barred from serving on the organization's Foundation Board.
On 19 October, he was appointed as the Minister of Sport in place of the previous minister Vitaly Mutko by President Putin.
