Prianishnikov qualified for the Ukrainian squad, as a 21-year-old, on his only Olympic debut in the men's 10 m running target at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by virtue of exchanging a quota place won by his teammate Ivan Rybovalov in the free pistol with his selection, having achieved a minimum qualifying score of 578 from his third-place finish at the ISSF World Cup meet in Bangkok, Thailand.[5] Prianishnikov shot an astonishing score of 293 to open the slow-moving target round in fourth position. He fired 282 to hold off a one-point advantage over three-time U.S. Olympian Adam Saathoff in the fast-moving round, but faded to seventh with a final score of 575, just three points short to reach the finals.[4][6][7]
