Roman Sloudnov (born February 24, 1980 in Omsk) is a Russian swimmer who won a bronze medal in the 100 m Breaststroke at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Sloudnov was also the first male to break the "magic" one minute barrier for the 100 m breaststroke, clocking a 59.97 in the final of the 100 m breaststroke at the Russian National Championships and World Championship Trials in Moscow on June 29, 2001 at age 21. This "record of world records" also beat the world record Sloudnov set the previous day of 1:00.26. Not even a month after breaking the one minute barrier, Sloudnov raised the bar again, hitting the pads at 59.94 in Fukuoka, Japan.
