Sergey Pakura (Russian: Серге́й Пакура; born May 3, 1983) is a Kyrgyzstani middle-distance runner.[1] Pakura represented Kyrgyzstan at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's 800 metres. He ran in the seventh heat, against six other athletes including American middle-distance runner Andrew Wheating, and Robert Lathouwers of the Netherlands. He finished the race in last place by two seconds behind Jamaica's Aldwyn Sappleton, with a time of 1:50.54. Pakura, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as he placed fifty-second overall, and was ranked farther below two mandatory slots for the next round.[2]
