Aksyutin qualified for the Russian shooting team, as a 40-year-old, in the men's skeet at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He had registered a minimum qualifying score of 120 to join with his fellow shooter Valeriy Shomin, and fill in the second Olympic quota (previously reserved by Oleg Tishin at the ISSF World Cup meet in Perth, Australia) for Russia, following his ninth-place finish at the World Championships in Nicosia, Cyprus less than a year earlier.[4][5] Aksyutin had shared an identical score of 120 birds with five other shooters, including his teammate Shomin, for fifteenth place, just two shots away from a final cutoff.[6][7]
