Kseniya Leonidovna Moskvina (Russian: Ксения Леонидовна Москвина; born May 29, 1989 in Chelyabinsk) is a Russian swimmer, who specialized in backstroke events.[1] Moskvina eclipsed a European record of 56.36 seconds to take the gold medal in 100 m backstroke at the 2009 European Short Course Swimming Championships in Istanbul, Turkey, in addition to her two bronze from the 50 m backstroke and the women's medley relay.[2]
Moskvina qualified for two swimming events at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing a FINA A-standard entry time of 1:00.95 from the Russian Open Championships in Moscow.[3] On the second night of the Games, she rounded out the top 16 in the preliminary heats of the 100 m backstroke in a time of 1:00.70.[4][5] Followed by the next morning's session, Moskvina failed to qualify for the final, as she finished her semifinal run with a third-slowest time of 1:01.06.[6]
On the last day of swimming, Moskvina earned a fifth-place finish as a member of the Russian team in the 4×100 m medley relay with a final time of 3:57.84.[7][8] Teaming with Anastasia Aksenova, Yuliya Yefimova, and Natalya Sutyagina in the heats, Moskvina swam a backstroke leg, and recorded a split of 1:01.05. The Russian team secured a spot for the final after finishing fifth from the preliminary heats in 3:59.66.[9][10]
On March 14, 2013, Moskvina was ordered a six-year ban by the Russian Swimming Federation for committing a second doping violation.[11][12]
