Yevgeny Shabayev

For the Ataman and Russian political figure Yevgeny Shabayev, see All-Russian Officers Assembly.

Yevgeny Yevgenyevich Shabayev (Russian: Евгений Евгеньевич Шабаев; 24 April 1973 – 5 August 1998; alternate transliterations Yevgeni, Evgeny, Evgeni, Chabaev) was a Russian artistic gymnast. He won a silver with his team at the 1994 Team World Championships, and he was the bronze medalist in the all-around at the 1995 World Championships. He was only the alternate to Russia's 1996 Olympic team due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. Injuries also kept him off the team for the 1997 World Championships.[1]

Shabayev died of a heart attack on 5 August 1998. His funeral was held six days later, and gymnasts Alexei Nemov, Nikolai Kryukov, Elena Grosheva and Roza Galieva were in attendance.[2]
