Vladimir Ivanovich Trusenyov (Russian: Владимир Иванович Трусенёв; 3 August 1931 – 2001) was a Russian discus thrower who won a European title in 1962 and placed third in 1958. In 1962 he held a world record for a few weeks. He competed in the 1960 and 1964 Summer Olympics and finished 15th and 8th, respectively.[2][3]
