Priahin made his official debut at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. He failed to reach the top 16 final in the 100 m backstroke, finishing forty-fifth in a time of 1:00.26.[2] A member of the Kyrgyzstan team, he also placed twenty-first, along with Konstantin Andriushin, Yevgeny Petrashov, and Russian import Sergey Ashihmin, in the 4×100 m medley relay (3:56.24).[3]
At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Priahin competed only in the men's 100 m backstroke. He eclipsed a FINA B-cut of 58.05 from the Kazakhstan Open Championships in Almaty.[4] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including South Korea's 17-year-old Sung Min. He registered a lifetime best of 59.86 to overhaul a minute barrier and pick up a seventh seed, finishing behind leader Sung by 2.71 seconds. Priahin failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-ninth overall in the prelims.[5][6]
