He competed at the 1968, 1972 and the 1976 Summer Olympics and finished in 4th, 13th and 10th place, respectively. Between 1958 and 1975 Tsuranov won three individual and seven team gold medals at the world championships; he became European champion 10 times and Soviet champion 11 times. He had the world's best result (200 out of 200) in 1971.

Then the jury stopped the contest and awarded gold medals to both shooters.
