About this person
Mikhail Sergeyevich Litvin was born 5 January 1996 in Petropavl, a northern Kazakh city better known for Soviet-era industry than Olympic hopefuls. He specialized in the 400 metres, the distance that separates pure sprinters from endurance runners. In 2016 he reached the podium at the Asian Indoor Championships, taking bronze in a field where fractions of a second separate the forgotten from the ranked. The medal marked him as one of Central Asia's credible middle-distance threats, a regional name in a sport where most glory flows west.
