Rostislav Yevgenyevich Vargashkin (Russian: Ростислав Евгеньевич Варгашкин; born 2 June 1933) is a retired Russian cyclist who competed at the 1956 and 1960 Summer Olympics. In 1956 he finished last in the 2000 m tandem sprint, due to a crash during a repechage round,[1] whereas in 1960 he won a bronze medal in the 1000 m track time trial.[2] He set five world records: in the 200 m time trial from a flying start (1955 – 11.40) and in the 1000 m time trial, from a standing start (1953 – 1:10.40, 1954 – 1:10.20, 1955 – 1:09.50) and from a flying start (1955 – 1:06.0).[3][4]
Nationally, he won 13 titles between 1953 and 1963 in the sprint, tandem sprint, team pursuit and time trial.[3][4]
After retirement he became the head coach of the Russian Cycling Federation.[3] He prepared the Soviet team for the 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976 Olympics, and was a member of the European and world cycling federations (1993) and the president of the Soviet cycling federation (1989–1996).[5] Vargashkin holds three bicycle-related patents (1981, 1990, 1998) and is the author of one book on time trial cycling (1961). He was twice awarded the Order of the Badge of Honour.[4]
