Yury Mildzihov (Russian: Юрий Мильдзихов; 15 June 1968  - 25 February 2008)[1] was an amateur Russian-born Kyrgyzstani freestyle wrestler, who competed in the men's super heavyweight category. He was born in Bishkek.[2]

Mildzihov qualified for the Kyrgyz squad in the men's 120 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by finishing fourth and receiving a berth from the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria.[3] He lost his opening match to neighboring Kazakhstan's Marid Mutalimov and endured a 4–0 defeat from U.S. wrestler and Olympic veteran Kerry McCoy, that left him injured on his left leg and unable to compete against Italy's Francesco Miano-Petta on his final bout of the prelim pool. Placing him at the bottom of the pool and sixteenth in the final standings, Mildzihov failed to advance to the quarterfinals.[4] [5] [6]
