'''Yevgeniy Ektov''' (born 1 September 1986 in [[Petropavl]]) is a [[Kazakhstan]]i [[track and field]] athlete who competes in the [[triple jump]]. He represented his country at the [[2012 Summer Olympics]], and the [[World Championships in Athletics]] in 2009 and 2011. He was the triple jump [[gold medal]]list at the [[2011 Asian Athletics Championships]] and was runner-up at the [[2010 Asian Games]]. Ektov has also won medals at the [[Asian Indoor Games]] and [[Asian Indoor Athletics Championships]]. His personal best for the event was 17.07 metres, set in 2008, improved to 17.22, set in 2012 ([[Almaty]], 1 July 2012).

==Career==
Ektov began his career as a junior and won the national junior indoor triple jump title in 2004. The following year he was the runner-up at the senior indoor and outdoor championships behind [[Roman Valiyev]]. The 2005 season saw him improve his best jump to 16.31 m and he also made his first major international appearance, coming seventh at the [[2005 Asian Athletics Championships]]. He became the Kazakhstani national champion both indoor and outdoors in 2006,<ref name=Tilas>[http://www.tilastopaja.org/db/atm.php?ID=59047 Yevgeniy Ektov]. Tilastopaja. Retrieved on 9 July 2011.</ref> but he was behind his rival Valiyev on the regional stage – at the [[2006 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships]] Valiyev took gold while Ektov managed the [[bronze medal]] (his first podium finish at an Asia-level event).<ref>[http://www.gbrathletics.com/ic/asi.htm Asian Indoor Championships]. GBR Athletics. Retrieved on 9 July 2011.</ref>

In the 2007 indoor season he set a personal best with a jump of 16.34 m, which brought him the bronze at the [[Indoor athletics at the 2007 Asian Indoor Games|2007 Asian Indoor Games]].<ref>Krishnan, Ram.

Retrieved on 9 July 2011.</ref> Although he repeated as the national outdoor champion, he failed to record a mark at the [[Athletics at the 2007 Summer Universiade|Summer Universiade in Bangkok]] later that year. Ektov failed to make the podium at the [[2008 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships]] (ending up fifth),<ref>[http://www.tilastopaja.org/staticresults/11377718.htm 2008 Asian Indoor Championships]. Tilastopaja. Retrieved on 9 July 2011.</ref> but achieved a significant improvement in his best on the 2008 [[Asian Grand Prix]] tour. At the meet in [[Korat]], he won with a mark of 17.07 m, surpassing the 17-metre barrier for the first time.<ref>[http://www.iaaf.org/WAF08/news/kind=100/newsid=45491.html Relay teams make progress towards Beijing qualifier – Asian Grand Prix Leg Two].

He won a further national title outdoors in 2010 with a wind-assisted 16.96 m and achieved his best legal jump of the season at his most important competition of the year – his clearance of 16.86 m brought him the silver at the [[Athletics at the 2010 Asian Games|2010 Asian Games]] behind the home favourite Li Yanxi.<ref name=Tilas/><ref>[http://www.iaaf.org/news/kind=100/newsid=58829.html Bahrain takes two distance running golds – Asian Games, Day 6].
