Career

edit

Born in Khabarovsk Krai,[1] Tsyplakov's first international medal came at the 2009 World Youth Championships in Athletics, where he cleared a personal best of 2.17 m (7 ft 1+14 in) to take the bronze medal.[2] He improved further at the 2009 European Youth Olympics, topping the podium with a jump of 2.21 m (7 ft 3 in).[3] He equalled his best to win the 2010 Russian junior title but had a poor showing at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics, managing only 2.05 m.[4] He jumped a best of 2.26 m (7 ft 4+34 in) as the runner-up at the Russian junior championships the following year, but was one place off a medal at the 2011 European Athletics Junior Championships, taking fourth place. The highlight of his 2012 season was a personal best of 2.31 m (7 ft 6+34 in) to take sixth place at the Russian Athletics Championships.[1]

Tsyplakov made his first impacts in the senior ranks in the 2013 season. An indoor best of 2.30 m (7 ft 6+12 in) brought him third at the Russian Indoor Championships.[5] On the circuit he was second on count-back to Bohdan Bondarenko at the Moscow Challenge and came third at the Athletissima meet with a jump of 2.30 m (7 ft 6+12 in).[6] He secured a silver medal in the high jump at the 2013 European Athletics U23 Championships, runner-up to Douwe Amels on count-back, and was third at the Russian Championships later that year.[1]

A performance of 2.34 m (7 ft 8 in) at the 2014 Russian Indoor Championships marked him in second place to Ivan Ukhov and earned him a spot for the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships.[1][7]
