Kolobkov was born on 22 September 1969 in Moscow. In his career he won 26 medals between Olympic Games, World and European Championships. He was appointed as a Deputy Minister of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy on 8 October 2010 by then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

On 19 October, he was appointed as the Minister of Sport in place of the previous minister Vitaly Mutko by President Putin.
