Anastasiya Sergeyevna Prilepa (also Anastassiya Prilepa, Kazakh: Анастасия Сергеевна Прилепа; born March 15, 1990) is a Kazakh swimmer, who specialized in backstroke events.[1] She is a multiple-time Kazakhstan champion in all backstroke distances, and holds two titles at the Asian Age Group Championships.
Prilepa qualified for the women's 100 m backstroke, as Kazakhstan's youngest swimmer (aged 14), at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She cleared a FINA B-standard entry time of 1:05.43 from the Kazakhstan Open Championships in Almaty.[2] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including Uzbekistan's Olga Gnedovskaya, who shared the same age with Prilepa. She raced to seventh place by a 3.18-second margin behind winner Kiera Aitken of Bermuda in 1:07.55. Prilepa failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-eighth overall in the preliminaries.[3] [4]
