Olga Gnedovskaya (Russian: Ольга Гнедовская; born August 15, 1989) is an Uzbekistani former swimmer, who specialized in backstroke events.[1] Gnedovskaya qualified for the women's 100 m backstroke, as Uzbekistan's youngest swimmer (aged 14), at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She cleared a FINA B-standard entry time of 1:05.42 from the Russian Championships in Moscow.[2] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including Kazakhstan's Anastassiya Prilepa, who shared the same age with Gnedovskaya. She rounded out the field to last place in 1:15.33, nearly 10 seconds off her entry time. Gnedovskaya failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed forty-first overall in the preliminaries.[3] [4]
