Pavel Pankov

Pavel Pankov is a Russian setter and one of the key organizers of Dynamo Moscow’s offense. At 197 cm he provides size at the net without sacrificing the quick hands and decision-making required to distribute against elite blocking systems. His club role places him at the center of a team that regularly competes for Russia’s championship and cup titles.

Pankov also has extensive national-team experience and won an Olympic silver medal with the Russian Olympic Committee team at Tokyo 2020. He returned to Russia’s senior squad in 2026, bringing a veteran setting option to a group re-entering a fuller international schedule. His profile combines leadership, serving pressure and an ability to run fast offense from both perfect and imperfect reception.
