Alexey Sobolev (born in Novosibirsk on 1 September 1991) is a Russian snowboarder competing in slopestyle and big air.[1]

Sobolev qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics where he finished in 20th place in the men's slopestyle, being eliminated in the semifinal.[2]

He garnered attention because his board may reference the band Pussy Riot[3] and because his helmet had his iPhone's telephone number printed on the side until he was forced to cover it up by officials.[4]
