Yury Shayunou (Belarusian: Юры Шаюноў; born October 10, 1987) is a Belarusian hammer thrower, coached by his father Victor Shayunou.
Yury Shayunou has a personal best of 80.72 meters with the 7.26 kg (or 16 lbs) implement, achieved on July 6, 2009 in Minsk at the Romuald Klim Trophy.
He has an orthodox countering technique and relies on his controlled throwing, instead of overpowering the hammer with pure strength. He is therefore an efficient and reliable type of thrower, with a high lowest level in comparison to other hammer throwers of the same calibre.
As of Oct 28, 2026: Hammer Throw 80.72 (#81 all-time), 2023 season best 61.67 (Feb 25, 2023, RTSOP, Minsk (BLR)) · Last competition: Belarus Winter Throwing Championships, Feb 25, 2023, 61.67 · 39 years old
