Representing Russia at the 2015–16 Luge World Cup, Repilov placed second in the sprint event in Calgary with a time of 30.279.

Later in the same season, he triumphed in the men's singles event at Park City, Utah, came in second twice, in Winterberg, Germany and Sigulda, Latvia and won two men's singles sprint events in Park City and Sigulda.
During the 2017–18 Luge World Cup season Repilov triumphed at Lake Placid and in doing so shattered the track record which had just been set first by his teammate Semen Pavlichenko the previous day and again by the American slider Tucker West in the previous heat of the finals, with a time of 50.875 seconds. Repilov was joined on the podium by Pavlichenko, who took the silver, and West, who took home the bronze. Also during the 2017–18 campaign he won a silver at Altenberg and a bronze at Calgary.
During the 2018–19 Luge World Cup Repilov achieved back to back podium finishes first in placing second in Calgary in the men's singles and then in Lake Placid in successfully defending his 2017–18 triumph there in the men's singles event and also claiming victory in the men's sprint singles event.
Repilov currently resides in Dmitrov. He has a younger brother, Pavel, who is currently competing on youth events.

Why this record matters
“Roman Repilov” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Roman, Repilov and Russian provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22279988. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
