Career
On the FIS distance ranking, he was placed 647th. However, the low ranking gave him an early start position in the 15 km freestyle, which helped as the late starters had to go through snowy tracks while Karneyenka avoided the snow. Karneyenka was described as "completely unknown" by several media sources, and the feat described as "sensational".
At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, he finished 51st in the individual sprint event and 63rd in the 15 km event.
He also finished 21st in the 15 km event at the 2010 Winter Military World Games.
