Gennady Viktorovich Komnatov (Russian: Геннадий Викторович Комнатов; 18 September 1949 – 1 April 1979) was a Russian road cyclist. He was part of the Soviet team that won a gold medal in the 100 km team time trial at the 1972 Summer Olympics.[1] He won three silver medals at the world championships in 1973–1975 in this event.[2]
Komnatov was the eldest sibling in a family of four brothers and one sister. Influenced by Gennady, two of his younger brothers, Vasily and Stanislav, became cycling coaches. Komnatov died aged 29 in a traffic accident. A monument in his honor stands in the village of Zhelannoye where he was born.[3][4]
