Sheremetyev and his brother Mikhail made their official debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where they finished twentieth in the men's 470 class with a net score of 157, edging out Belarusian duo Siarhei Dziasiukevich and Pavel Lahunou by a narrow, two-point gap from the final standings.[3]
At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Sheremetyev competed for the second time as a crew member in the men's 470 class by finishing fifteenth and receiving a berth from the World Championships in Barcelona, Spain.[4][5] Teaming again with his brother and skipper Mikhail in the opening series, the Russian duo mounted two top 10 finishes on the fifth and seventh leg respectively to produce a remarkable grade of 130, but came up short for the medal race with a seventeenth-place finish in a fleet of twenty-seven boats.[6]
