This athlete, and his partner Sergey Zhdanov, competed for VS Tallinn, and the OlyMADMen call them Estonian. They were Russians however, and may well have been sent to Tallinn to train on the Olympic course. I call them Russians.

The MADMen give no indication as to his origins, so I'll class him Serbian like the rest of his crew.
