Sprinter at a distance of 110 m with obstacles received the 2nd place, but at the same time set a record among semifinal race. In the same year, Schubenkov fulfilled the norm of the Master of Sports.
The gold medalist of the 2010 Summer Games of 2010 debuted at the World Championship, where she came to the finish line of the 25th. However, this failure only spurred Sergey. Already in 2012, he participated in the first serious competition "on an adult" level. Then the young man returned home in the status of the winner at the European Championships in Helsinki.
At 23, the athlete became a bronze medalist of the World Championship, which was held in Moscow. Then he managed to get the 1st place in Europe.
In his favorite distance, running with obstacles to 110 m, a young man could not have managed to show on a stopwatch number less than 13 seconds. In Beijing in 2015, he finally installed not only a personal, but also a national record - 12.98 seconds. The second and third places were taken by Yamaic Hansl George Parchment and American Aris Merritt.
In 2016, the Russian national team was in the center of attention due to the doping scandal. As a result, Russian athletes were not allowed to the Olympic Games. The world champion expressed regret on this matter, but he decided to appear under the neutral flag. In an interview with Schubenkov, he stated that this is his only chance to continue his career.

Of course, the sprinter dreamed of gaining the title of the Olympic champion, but the pandemic of coronavirus infection has made adjustments. On this occasion, Sergey spoke in the program "The Diary of the Olympiad, which was not ...". Self-insulation overtook him in Barnaul. The athlete still went on a jog, although most of the time spent training at home - stretched on the rug.
Doping
A secret dream to participate in the Olympic Games for a number of reasons was postponed throughout the career of the runner. The removal of the Russian national team from participation in the international tournament in 2016, a coronavirus infection pandemic - all these annoying circumstances became an obstacle to the goal.
And at the beginning of 2021, Schubenkov turned out to be the focus of Russian media. The network has information that the athlete passed the positive doping sample. In his blood, they discovered traces of "Furosemide". This means is known in professional circles, used either for secluding weight, or to mask other drugs.
For what Sergey lose weight, it is unclear - with a height of 190 cm and weigh 75 kg there is no need for it. Naturally, rumors crawled on the Internet that the runner was going to hide the use of another doping with the help of Furosemide.
The Sprinter itself responded sharply for accusations, calling unverified information on the Internet slander. At the same time, the athlete did not deny the fact of receiving the letter from the Athletics Integrity Unit, but its content refused to reveal the press.
The situation was allowed in the summer. An investigation was conducted, as a result of which all accusations with respect to the Russian athlete were removed. The impact of the appearance in the body forbidden to preparing the runners of drugs was simple. The fact is that the son of the sprinter of Konstantin was prescribed by medicines, nosed on the WADA list. It is not difficult that particles of the drug remained in the kitchen (the parents had to prepare the pills in a certain way, since the 3-month-old child could not simply swallow them). A random hit to the body of Sergei these microscopic residues and caused a positive test.
In an interview, after the result of the investigation was known, Sergey said that the whole process caused his big stress. I constantly requested some documents, there were many letters - there were no less than 100 sheets in the case. When the verdict was voiced, Schubenkov experienced relief.
Personal life
Schubenkov married in 2015 on the girl from whom he met still in the student. Anna's future wife also studied at the Faculty of Law, but on the course of the younger. The meeting with the athlete was not interested in sports, but later it began to delve into subtleties, even told the spouse about potential rivals.The Golden Prize-winner of the 2015 World Cup twice became a father. Firstborn, Yaroslav was born in 2018, and in 2020 Konstantin appeared per light. Nadezhda Schubenkov shared in an interview: her son after tried by the role of his father, became softer, gentle and affectionate. In any free minute, he seeks home to the family.
The runner does not hide his personal life - on his page in "Instagram" a lot of photos with loved ones. Also, the athlete leads a profile in Twitter, but this social network prefers to post information about his professional biography.
