Sergey Pankov (Uzbek: Сергей Панков; born December 2, 1988) is an Uzbek swimmer, who specialized in backstroke and butterfly events.[1] He won a bronze medal in the 200 m backstroke at the 2006 Asian Swimming Championships in Singapore, and had achieved an eighth-place finish in the same discipline at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.

Pankov made his Olympic debut, as a 15-year-old, in Athens 2004, where he competed in the men's 200 m butterfly. Swimming in heat one as a newcomer to the international scene, Pankov posted his own personal best of 2:13.06 to round out the field of 39 swimmers to last place in the prelims.[2][3]

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Pankov qualified for his second Uzbek team in the 200 m backstroke. He cleared a FINA B-cut of 2:03.79 (200 m backstroke) from the Kazakhstan Open Championships in Almaty.[4] Pankov rounded out the first heat to last place, almost two seconds behind Oleg Rabota of Kazakhstan and Brett Fraser of the Cayman Islands, recording his lifetime best at 2:03.51. Pankov failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed thirty-eighth overall in the prelims.[5]
