Trunenkov originally took up sprinting whilst at university[1] before switching to bobsleigh at the age of 21.[1][2]

At the 2010 Winter Olympics, Trunenkov crashed during the four-man event.

Trunenkov has a degree in industrial and civil construction from Krasnoyarsk State Academy of Architecture and Construction,[1][2] which became part of the Siberian Federal University in 2006. He holds the title of Merited Master of Sport in Russia. He is married to Elena and they have a daughter, Dana.[2]

On 31 January 2017, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency announced that Trunenkov had been banned for four years from April 2016 due to a doping violation.[3]

Trunenkov was part of a four-man Russian team who originally won gold at the 2014 Winter Olympics but was then disqualified and stripped of medals because Alexandr Zubkov tested positive for doping. On 27 November 2017, Trunenkov was found guilty in anti-doping rule violations, disqualified and declared ineligible for future Olympic games.[4]

gollark: Perhaps there are other worthwhile features it lacks.
gollark: I should probably fix it to use modern™ asynchronous IO things on the backend, and to incorporate lessons from SPUDNET like "actually doing autoreconnect at all".
gollark: It was mostly used by the older node.js server I think?
gollark: I don't. I forgot I added that, actually.
gollark: There is, similarly to with modems and with rednet in practice, no unique sender identification.
