Olga Igoryevna Detenyuk (Russian: Ольга Игоревна Детенюк; born June 23, 1993 in Vladivostok) is a Russian swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] Detenyuk set a games record of 2:25.19 to claim the 200 m breaststroke title at the 2008 FINA Youth World Swimming Championships in Monterrey, Mexico.[2] She also won a silver medal, as a member of the Russian team, in the girls' 4×100 m medley relay at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore.[3]
Detenyuk qualified for the women's 200 m breaststroke, as Russia's youngest swimmer (aged 15), at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing a FINA A-standard entry time of 2:26.15 from the Russian Championships in Moscow.[4] She challenged seven other swimmers on the fourth heat, including defending Olympic champion Amanda Beard of the United States. She finished the race in seventh spot by 0.17 of a second behind Beard in 2:27.87. Detenyuk missed the semifinals by a six tenth margin (0.60), as she shared a twentieth-place tie with Great Britain's Kirsty Balfour in the preliminary heats.[5]
