Maksim Semenov

Maksim Anatolyevich Semenov (; born April 7, 1979, in Tolyatti) is a retired amateur Russian Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the men's welterweight category. He obtained a fourth position in the 66-kg division at the 2002 World Wrestling Championships in Moscow, and also represented his nation Russia at the 2004 Summer Olympics, finishing ninth in the process. He lost his opening match to Armenia's Vaghinak Galstyan by a 2–2 draw, but bounced back to defeat Sweden's Jimmy Samuelsson with a solid 3–1 decision, placing second in the prelim pool round and did not advance to the quarterfinals. Semenov originally claimed the eleventh position in the final standings, but two wrestlers were both disqualified by a forfeit in a playoff, upgrading him to ninth.
